Hosting Information
Location
On 7 May 2017, Kimmystanian Broadcaster announced that it had chosen Nordfjord as the host city for the contest. The contest will be held at the Nordfjord Opera House, which hosted several editions of the Kimmystanian national preselection Kimmystan NF, but also the 17th and 22nd edition of Outernatia Song Contest.
Nordfjord
Nordfjord is the capital city of Kimmystan and is located in the Fjorden-region in the northern part of Kimmystan. Nordfjord is an important global city and financial centre with an urban population of 2.1 million. Most of the country's embassies can be found in this city. Both the region and the city is known for its beautiful fjords and breathtaking landscape, and in the city, you can eat traditional Kimmystanian food like bacalao, fish & chips and whale meat, of which the latter is a real Kimmystanian delicatessen.
This is the third time that the city is hosting the Outernatia Song Contest, but it has also previously hosted the Junior Internatia Song Contest 18.
