Grolskira participated in the Internatia Song Contest 18 in Astrée, Kosma. They selected their song through national final, called Aonachskira Fest, organised by GLTV and the winner of it was Brooke Fraser with the song "Something In The Water".
First plans
GLTV was thinking of making this NF for women only, where a couple of women had to present 2 of their songs to compete in this NF. The first round would've consisted of all of them performing their both songs at once, then the people at home would choose the best one to go to the second round. In the second round, the best song would be chosen with 50/50 system (televoting + jury). But this format did not happen, because GLTV expressed that they need a new idea.
Aonachskira Fest
On 16 September 2013, GLTV agreed with RTVRA[1] to co-host Aonachskira Fest. Entries for both of the countries were confirmed via the thread of Grolskira.
Voting period for the other countries began at 16 October 2013, where Internatian countries were very welcomed to vote and decide, which entry is the best one between Aonachian and Grolskiric entries.
The results show was broadcasted live both via GLTV and RTVRA on November 10 2013. The hosts of the show were Saint Lu and Shy'm.

Controversies
After the show it was revealed that public favourite of Aonachian people among Aonachian entries was not Katya Savelyeva, but Rosela Gjylbegu, and the choice upsot everybody, since they believed Rosela will represent Aonach in ISC 18 and not Katya.
