=== Song selection ===
Main article: Griffiniskaja Laul
Up to the 195 contest, Griffin Empire used internal selection as a method of choosing its representative. In 196 Griffin national festival - Griffiniskaja laul has been introduced. The format of the competition is inspired by the historical regions of the country: Griffin principalities compete in a Eurovision-like show held in a city from the principality that won the edition before. Voting format is similar as well, a combination of Griffin principalities televoting and an international jury. The competition makes a considerable impact on the music charts in Griffin Empire.
Nowadays, national final and internal selection are used randomly. If internal selection is used as a method, it is common for Griffin national broadcaster to host a concert or a special televised show where the entry is revealed. Such concerts include 16th Birthday Celebration where all of Griffin entries were performed in the chronological order and LLLaleh - a concert with a mix of WLSC entrants, Griffin most succesful entries and Laleh's biggest hits.
