Liet International (Template:Lang-fy), formerly Liet-Lávlut, is a song contest for musicians who speak any of Europe's regional or minority languages that was held the first time in Friesland in 2002. The goal of the festival is to boost interest in Europe's minority languages, especially with young people.

Liet International began in 2002 as a spinoff of the Frisian-language song contest Liet (West Frisian for "song"), held annually in Leeuwarden/Ljouwert since 1991. The first three editions of Liet International likewise took place in Leeuwarden. Since 2006 it has been held in a different city each year. The 2006 and 2008 contests, held in the Swedish Sápmi, were titled Liet-Lávlut (lávlut is Northern Sami for "sing").

Since 2008 Liet International has been organized under the patronage of the Council of Europe.

Contests were cancelled in 2007 and 2013 when the hosting organizations, in Narbonne and Corsica respectively, backed out at a late stage, and in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No Liet International was held in 2005, 2015, 2016, 2019 or 2021.

Qualification

The winners of certain song contests for particular languages or groups of languages automatically qualify as entrants for Liet International. These contests thus function as selection rounds for the international contest. They have included:

Additional entrants are chosen from applying artists by a selection committee.

Liet Ynternasjonaal 2002

The first Liet International song contest was held on April 28, 2002 at the De Harmonie [nl] theatre in Leeuwarden/Ljouwert, Friesland, the Netherlands. The West Frisian-language Liet contest was held on the previous night, and in a pattern that would be repeated in future editions the winner of Liet went on to represent Friesland in the international contest. However in later years Liet International would be held some months after Liet.

Both the jury and public awards were won by the Catalan band Pomada for their song "En Pere Galleri".

Liet-Lávlut 2006

Since the Sámi had won two out of the three competitions, the festival was held in Östersund, Sweden, which is the southern reaches of the area, Sápmi, where the Sámi live in the Nordic Countries. Sixty competitors, singing in 25 minority languages, took part in the preliminary elimination round. Eleven songs, representing 11 languages, were selected for the final competition.

Liet International 2022

The 13th Liet International contest was held on 13 May 2022 at the Schweizerhalle in Tønder, Denmark. There was 13 competing entries,[11] and was moderated by Stefanie Pia Wright and Niklas Freiberg Nissen.[12] It featured the first competitive entries in South Jutlandic, Southern Schleswig Danish, and South Tyrolean German (all languages which would have either debuted in the canceled 2020 contest or were featured in the non-competitive 2020+1 edition), as well as the first entry in North Frisian since the inaugural contest in 2002. It was the first contest since 2008 to not feature an entry from Scotland, and the first competitive edition to not feature a submission from the United Kingdom.

Initially, the Russian band Jura were due to compete with the song "Takhetle konum" in the Tatar language, but they withdrew due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. In their place, Israeli band Sofi and the Baladis competed with the song "Rebutalla", marking both the first time Israel was represented by an entry, the first entry from a country in the Middle East, and the first entry in Hebrew; as well as the third entry from a non-European country (the first two being the entries representing Suriname).[13] Early announcements also listed Brother Sea with the song "Trodhydhyek" as a participant,[14] while the final listing contained Billy Fumey with "U Port Titi" instead.

The jury award was won by Doria, and the audience award was won by Emanuele Pintus.

Language history

All told, fifty-seven languages have been represented at the contest at least once (counting the canceled 2020 edition). West Frisian is the only language to have appeared at every contest, as well as one of only two to have been represented by two different entries at the same contest (the other being Galician, and both occurred at the 2018 contest). Scotland is the only region to be represented by two languages at the same contest, once again at the 2018 contest (Scottish Gaelic and Scots). The only non-European language to have appeared at the contest is Sranan Tongo. The Netherlands and the United Kingdom have participated the most, with regional entries in all 13 contests, while France and Spain have only missed one each. Languages representing Belgium, Estonia, Hungary, Israel, Latvia, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, and Romania have each only appeared once. Russia is the country with the most regional languages featured at the contest, totaling eight. Although many languages featured at the contest are recognized national or regional languages within their countries, only three featured languages (Hebrew, Irish, and Luxembourgish) are considered their countries' official or co-official language.
