Two other cities, [[Huttiheita]] and [[Fettevika]], were also considered as possible host city of the contest. KimmiTV requested proposals from the three cities concerning how they plan to organise the contest. Huttiheita offered to host the contest in the Huttieheita Culture Center, while Fettevika offered the Fettevika Arena  as a potential venue for the contest. The bid from Fettevika came together with plans to expand and upgrade the facility and surrounding infrastructure to meet the requirements set by host broadcaster KTV. The bids from Huttiheita and Fettevika, together with the bid from Nordford to host the contest in the Nordfjord Opera House, were accepted. KTV chose the Nordfjord as the venue to stage the contest because they wanted the contest to be held in the capital city.

===Tie-break rules===
During the previous editions of the contest the official rules of the [[Internatia Song Contest]] were followed. Under these rules, in the event of more than one country scoring the same total number of points, a count is made of the numbers of countries who awarded points to each of the tied countries, and the one who received points from the most countries is declared the winner. This edition, however, different tie-break rules were used. The rules did not include counting the numbers of countries awarding any points to tied countries, but only the amount of maximum points (12 points) each country received was counted. This caused some controversy after the show, because under the rules of the Internatia Song Contest Ponásikwa would have received 10 points instead of 8 points from the International Jury, which means that Ponásikwa would have won. The tie-break rules were approved by the [[Outernatian Broadcasting Union|OBU]], but it was announced after the show that official rules will be made for upcoming contests in order to prevent the inconsistency of tie-break rules from edition to edition.  All rules of the OSC are the same as those used in the Internatia Song Contest.
