Alaxian Melody Festival 2452

The Alaxian Melody Festival 2452 was the 2nd edition of the annual Alaxian Melody Festival. It took place in Wynnoa, Empherias in the High Kingdoms of Alaxia. Organised by the International Broadcasting Agency (IBA) and the High Kingdoms Broadcasting Company (HKBC), the contest was held at the Georgina Arena on 20 April 2452. The main presenters were Empheri television presenters Fraser Clayst and Elise Waltz again, alongside Lily-Mae Miller.

Seven countries participated in the competition. All countries returned from the previous edition, with Palakkinen debuting. Each country would give two sets of points - one from a professional jury, and one from an amalgamation of surveys from the public. Each set of votes would be equally weighted and each country's points would be totalled to find a winner. Countries cannot vote for themselves. The sets of points would include two points, four points, six points, eight points, ten points, and twelve points - with the twelve points going to their favourites.

Rules for the songs were that they must be completely originally, with songs having to be released after 1 September 2451. Only six people were allowed on stage, the song must be between 2 minutes and 3 minutes long, and must fit the orchestra provided.
