The Internatia Song Contest 136 is the 136th monthly edition of Internatia Song Contest. The contest is held in Bresten, Daǔlska; all thanks to their first win as Daǔlska in the 134th edition with Troye Sivan and the song "Rush".
Mountains are a symbol of our country. The mountains are our protection, our home. As they say in Daǔlska: "It doesn't matter who is waiting for you at the top of the mountain. It is important who helps you to climb!"
At the top we find freedom, we feel an indescribable freshness. Every breath gets stronger, every sound gets louder.
