WHAT'S ANOTHER TIE FOR A RECORD
Meremaa claims its fifth victory at Griffiniskaja Laul 17


The Principality of Westersund was buzzing with excitement as the 17th edition of Griffiniskaja Laul, the prestigious song contest, took place in the capital city of Pyetsit. The competition was fierce, with Meremaa emerging victorious for the fifth time in the history of the event, matching the record previously set by Westersund for the most wins. The winning performance was delivered by Stephen Sanchez, who went on to represent the country at the Nation Song Contest for the second time in his career.

The runner-up of the event was Pzyerüyölkeä, with Westersund rounding out the top three as the host principality. The international juries' votes determined the Griffin representative at the 217th Nation Song Contest. This year's event saw the jury participation of eight Natian countries, including Mormadorei, Rumia, Belvist, Ugaly, Bigicia, Svobodnia, Kadis, and New Bander State, which all were part of the international juries at least once in the past. The jury nations gave points in the same way as Griffin televoting. Juries and televoting combined determined the overall winner of the festival with both deciding that Meremaa should win the contest.

Arkea-arrenaa in Pyetsit came back for its hosting gig for the second time in history. This meant that Pyetsit became the city which hosted the contest the biggest number of times. Leo Woodall was the presenter and host of the show, and the opening and interval acts included a number of special guests who performed current chart-toppers, as well as Griffin WLSC, NSC, and GL hits.​

Regional branches of GTV had sole discretion on the process they employed to select their entry for the contest. There were no regional finals, meaning that all principalities chose their acts internally. Interestingly, the most number of songs submitted came from Foreõsvdetrre, while the least number of songs came from Westersund, despite their victory at the previous edition.

However, there was a bit of controversy when it was noticed that Paloma Paris, the representative of Sletterimaa, had the same song as Mormadoreian representative at the 216th Nation Song Contest. This meant that she was ruled out as a potential Griffin representative, but she wasn't disqualified from the festival.

In the end, it was an electrifying night filled with amazing performances and impressive talents from all over Griffin Empire. Meremaa emerged as the well-deserved winner, and all eyes will be on them as they represent the country at the upcoming Nation Song Contest.

Thank you all that decided to be part of this madness that took whole April to finish. Thank you Mormadorei, Rumia, Belvist, Ugaly, Bigicia, Svobodnia, Kadis, New Bander State! Another month long break is coming, and then for the 219th NSC we'll have 18th GL. x-heart

MATILDA MANN TO NATION SONG CONTEST
Õklingsmaa celebrates its historic victory at Griffiniskaja Laul


Zonpolah, Meremaa - The eighteenth edition of Griffiniskaja Laul, the Griffin national musical event and the national final of the Nation Song Contest, took place in the captivating city of Zonpolah, located within the principality of Meremaa. The highlight of the evening was the momentous victory achieved by Õklingsmaa, marking the first time in the event's history that the principality emerged triumphant. The outstanding performance by Matilda Mann propelled Õklingsmaa to glory, subsequently granting her the honour of representing the nation at the esteemed Nation Song Contest held in Šilček.

The event captivated audiences and garnered significant attention and enthusiasm. Fan favourite The Last Dinner Party from Foreõsvdetrre secured the runner-up position, captivating spectators with their compelling performance. Following closely behind was Färzas - Lætingmaa, whose remarkable showcase earned them a spot in the top three. However, the host principality of Meremaa encountered an unexpected outcome, finishing last in the competition for the very first time in its event history.

A momentous occasion in VTB Arrenaa, Zonpolah as it marked the first time the event was hosted at this venue. Previously, the event took place twice in Mare Incatato, and once in both Tevs and Salta. Other cities that participated in the bidding process included all previous host cities, as well as the seaside resort city of Hjemtilëiyl, renowned for its film festival. The host and presenter of the show was none other than Stephen Sanchez, the winner of the previous edition. The opening and interval acts featured a lineup of special guests who delivered captivating performances of current chart-toppers, as well as hits from WLSC, NSC, and GL.​
