Liet International 2018 was the 12th edition of Liet International, organised by Stichting Liet and the Council of Europe. The contest took place on 23 May 2018 at the Neushoorn, Leeuwarden, to coincide with the city's stint as the European Capital of Culture. Fourteen entrants participated in the contest, the highest amount ever.
Cornwall's The Rowan Tree were the winners of the jury award and, hence, the contest with the song "Tresor". Galicia's Nastasia Zürcher won the contestant-voted musician's award with the song "Espertos", placing second overall. Completing the top five was Scotland and Friesland in third, fourth and fifth (due to Friesland being represented twice), respectively. This contest marked the first time that multiple songs from the same region entered, as two songs each from Friesland, Galicia, and Scotland competed. Debuting region Komi Republic placed last with only 26 points.
