Cygovision 96 was the national selection method for Cydoni-Gibberia's entry to the Nation Song Contest 96. Based on the popular Swedish television show Melodifestivalen's format, the national final consisted of four semi-finals, a second chance round and a live final spanning across three weeks of television. At 32 songs, Cygovision 96 earned the record for being the largest national selection show used in Nation Song Contest history. On 30th April 2013, James Blake was announced as the winner of the contest and would therefore go on to represent the island in the Nation Song Contest. Despite the effort put into the national final, Cydoni-Gibberia did not qualify in the contest, and currently stands as the last non-qualification for the nation.

== Trivia ==
* The winner, James Blake, was not in the original line-up of 32 artists, but due to a computer error some new artists were chosen in place of other acts, with Blake being one of these newcomers.
* The winner of Semi-Final 3 came last in the final, whereas the runner-up in Semi-Final 3 ended up winning.
