The '''1st Alaxian Melody Festival 2451''' was the inaugural edition of the annual [[Alaxian Melody Festival]], although it was thought to be a one-off special at time of release. It took place in [[Gateshaven]], [[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 [[Gateshaven-Pyrette Thunder Globe]] on 15 April 2451. The main presenters were Empheri television presenters [[Fraser Clayst]] and [[Elise Waltz]].

Six countries participated in the competition,: The five of which were constituent countries of the [[High Kingdoms of Alaxia]], alongside [[Grensalbourg]].
