As we already reported, YLE (Finish broadcaster) decided to make some changes in this years 'UMK' edition. This year there will be no jury. That means, only the public can vote for their favourite entry.
The shows will be hosted by Rakel Liekki & Roope Salminen.
You can listen to all the Finish entries on spotify or watch the promo videos:

The band Softengine won last year UMK with the song 'Something Better'. At the Eurovision Song Contest final in Copenhagen they got a very good result for their country and ended on 11th place in the Eurovision final. The winner of UMK 2015 will perform in one of the Semi-Finals on 19th or 21st of May 2015 in Vienna. Who should represent Finland in Austria?
