Lost Islands in the Internatia Song Contest 11 (Kálitt Lódd Inasiyal 3)
KPR announced a new format for KLI 3, in response to criticism that the contest leaned too heavily towards rock and metal. A number of songs from a variety of genres were commissioned, and 16 songs were unveiled in KLI 3. The songs would compete in a series of single-elimination duels, with a new draw before every round. Nations wishing to vote in KLI 3 were told to rank songs from top to bottom (depending on how many songs were left). Each nation would compare its preference to cast a vote in the duels. Therefore, each voter need only listen to the songs once and vote once.
