The Kimmystan NF is a national competition between the artists of Kimmystan which aims to select an entrant to represent the nation in Outernatia Song Contest. It is being broadcasted on Kimmystan TV monthly since early 2015 and any artist can enter a song, but the songs are carefully selected by the broadcaster and the President Kim. The festival has produced a winner and three top-ten placings for Kimmystan at the Outernatia Song Contest, as well as one third place for Kimmystan at the Internatia Second Chance Contest.
Hostings
hosted several editions of Kimmystan NF
Almost all editions of Kimmystan NF were held at the Nordfjord Opera House in Nordfjord.
The future plan is to rotate the hosting of the competition between cities throughout Kimmystan in the future. Kimmystan will also host the Unity Fest in the future which is the joint national selection between Gandhara, Jhe Freeh and Raingate.

Voting
Points are given by juries from different countries. Since the start of the contest, one voting system has been used. Each jury awards 12, 10, and 8 points to their top three songs. The jury from Kimmystan only votes when less than six international juries are present to give their votes.
The tie-break rules of the Internatia Song Contest are followed.[1] This means that in case of a tie a count will be made of the numbers of countries who awarded points to each of the tied songs, and the one who received points from the most countries will be placed above the other song(s). If two or more songs are still tied, the sets of maximum points (12 points) each song received will be counted. If there is still a tie, the numbers of 10-point scores awarded are compared, and then the numbers of 8-point scores, all the way down the list. In the unlikely event that there is still a tie between two or more songs, the song that performed earliest in the running order will be placed above the other tied songs.
