Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Expand Finnish Шаблон:Infobox song contest country
Finland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 56 times since its debut in Шаблон:Escyr. Finland won the contest for the firstШаблон:Sndand to date onlyШаблон:Sndtime in Шаблон:Escyr with Lordi and their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah". The country's best result before then was achieved by Marion Rung with the song "Tom Tom Tom" in Шаблон:Escyr, which placed sixth.
Finland has finished last in the contest eleven times, receiving nul points in Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr. Since the introduction of the semi-finals in Шаблон:Escyr, Finland has failed to reach the final eight times. In Шаблон:Escyr, the country had its best result in eight years when Softengine with "Something Better" finished 11th, a result that would be surpassed by Blind Channel with "Dark Side", which came sixth in Шаблон:Escyr, and later by Käärijä with "Cha Cha Cha", which won the public vote and came second overall in Шаблон:Escyr, the latter of which is Finland's second best result to date.
History
Before its Шаблон:Escyr victory, Finland was considered by many to be the under-achiever of the Eurovision Song Contest. Prior to 2006, Finland had placed last a total of eight times, three times with nul points. Finland's entry in Шаблон:Escyr, "Шаблон:Lang" by Kojo, was one of only fifteen songs to score no points since the modern scoring system was implemented in Шаблон:Escyr. Due to poor results, Finland was relegated from taking part in Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr.[1][2]
In 2006, Finland won the contest with the band Lordi and their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah", an entry that stood out from the Europop that had dominated the competition. The song scored the highest number of points in the history of the contest, with 292, a record that was later broken by Norway's Alexander Rybak in Шаблон:Escyr.[3]
In Шаблон:Escyr, Finland finished last in the first semi-final with the shortest-ever Eurovision song, the one minute and 27 seconds "Шаблон:Lang" performed by Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät.[4] Finland reached the final for the first time in four years in Шаблон:Escyr, with Saara Aalto placing 25th. After a non-qualification in Шаблон:Escyr with Darude and Sebastian Rejman, Blind Channel placed sixth in Шаблон:Escyr, followed by a 21st place for The Rasmus in Шаблон:Escyr and a second place for Käärijä in Шаблон:Escyr, the latter of which is Finland's second best result to date.[5]
All of Finland's entries were in English between Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr, and since Шаблон:Escyr (with the exceptions of Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr, 2015 and 2023); both of these periods allowed submissions in any language. Finland's entries in Шаблон:Escyr and 2012 were in Swedish, which is an official language in the country alongside Finnish. All of Finland's other songs have been in Finnish.
