The Outernatia Song Contest 12 will be the twelfth edition of the Outernatia Song Contest and will take place in Hugo Chávez City, Lettuce. This will be the first time that the Lettucian national broadcaster, Lettuce Broadcasting Corporation (LBC), are organising an OBU event. So far, a record breaking thirty-one countries have confirmed their participation, with four countries making their first appearance, and five countries returning.

This edition will be the last contest to take place on one evening. The Outernatian Broadcasting Union (OBU) revealed that it would be adding a two semi-finals show to the competition in order to accommodate the growing number of interested countries wishing to take part in the contest.

Noxus

The chosen host country is marked in green. Countries marked with red dots failed in their bids.

Following Noxus' win at the Outernatia Song Contest 10, the Outernatian Broadcasting Union had given the broadcaster BKR the first refusal to host the twelfht edition. However, on 28 June 2015, BKR declined the right to host the contest and offered to Lettuce, who finished second, the possibility to hosting.

The Lettuce Broadcasting Corporation announced later that day that they accepted Noxus invitation to host the contest. It will be the first time that the nation will have organised any OBU event.

On 1 July 2015, LBC announced that it had chosen Hugo Chávez City as the host city for the contest. The contest will be held at the newly constructed Revolution Arena, a multi-purpose indoor arena with a capacity for 35,000 spectators for sports and 20,000 for concerts.
