Finland is set to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with "No Rules!" performed by Windows95man, with uncredited live vocals from Henri Piispanen. The Finnish broadcaster Шаблон:Lang (Yle) organised the national final Шаблон:Lang 2024 in order to select the Finnish entry for the contest.
Background
Шаблон:Main Prior to the 2024 contest, Finland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest fifty-six times since its first entry in 1961. Finland has won the contest once in Шаблон:Esccnty with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" performed by Lordi. In the Шаблон:Esccnty, "Cha Cha Cha" performed by Käärijä finished first in the televote and second overall.[1]
The Finnish national broadcaster, Шаблон:Lang (Yle), broadcasts the event within Finland and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. Finland's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest have been selected through national final competitions that have varied in format over the years. Between 1961 and 2011, a selection show that was often titled Шаблон:Lang highlighted that the purpose of the program was to select a song for Eurovision. However, since 2012, the broadcaster has organised the selection show Шаблон:Lang (UMK), which focuses on showcasing new music with the winning song being selected as the Finnish Eurovision entry for that year. Yle confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest on 14 May 2023, announcing that the Finnish entry would again be selected through Шаблон:Lang.[2]
Before Eurovision
Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2024
Шаблон:Lang 2024 was the thirteenth edition of Шаблон:Lang (UMK), the music competition that selects Finland's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest, organised and broadcast by Yle. The competition consisted of a final to be held on 10 February 2024 at the Nokia Arena in Tampere, a larger arena than the venues used in previous editions,[3][4][5][6] and was presented by Шаблон:Ill, Benjamin and Viivi Pumpanen.[7]
The show was broadcast on Yle TV1 with a second audio program providing commentary in Finnish by Mikko Silvennoinen, in Swedish by Шаблон:Ill and Johan Lindroos, in English by Jaakko Oleander-Turja, in Russian by Levan Tvaltvadze, in Ukrainian by Galyna Sergeyeva, in Finnish Sign Language by Miguel Peltomaa and Silva Belighti, in Finland-Swedish Sign Language by Robin Hänninen, in Northern Sami by Linda Tammela, and in Inari Sami by Heli Huovinen. The competition was also broadcast online via Шаблон:Lang and on radio on YleX, Шаблон:Lang and with commentary in Swedish on Шаблон:Lang.[8] Outside of Finland, the competition was broadcast in Estonia by TV3 (with commentary by Robin Juhkental and Anu Saagim),[9] in Spain by Ten (with commentary by Luis Mesa),[10] and in the Netherlands by OutTV (with commentary by Krista Siegfrids).[8]
The competition was watched by 1.9 million viewers in Finland, equalling the figures of the Шаблон:Esccnty.[11]
Competing entries
A window was opened by Yle between 21 and 24 August 2023 for interested artists to submit the demo versions of their candidate entries.[2][12] At least one of the writers and one lead singer were required to hold Finnish citizenship or live in Finland permanently in order for the entry to qualify to compete.[12] A total of 419 applications were received,[3][4][5] from which seven competing artists were selected by a panel of experts chaired by Tapio Hakanen;[13][14] they had until 20 October 2023 to submit the full versions of their entries.[12] These were announced on 10 January 2024 and were released on each of the weekdays from 11 to 19 January 2024.[15][16]

Final
The final took place on 10 February 2024, where seven entries competed. The winner was selected by a combination of public votes (75%) and seven international jury groups from Armenia, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine and the United Kingdom (25%).[8] The viewers had a total of 882 points to award, while the juries had a total of 294 points to award. Each jury group distributed their points as follows: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 points. The viewer vote was based on the percentage of votes each song achieved through the following voting methods: telephone, SMS and app voting. For example, if a song gains 10% of the viewer vote, then that entry would be awarded 10% of 882 points rounded to the nearest integer: 88 points.[12] A total of 224,477 votes were cast during the show;[17] no detailed figures for app voting were released due to the Yle app crashing during the voting window.[18]
In addition to the competing entries, the show was opened by Kuumaa performing "Шаблон:Lang", followed by host Benjamin with "Шаблон:Lang", while the interval acts included host Pilvi Hämäläinen performing "Шаблон:Lang", Katri Helena performing her Шаблон:Esccnty "Шаблон:Lang", and Käärijä performing "Шаблон:Lang" (with Erika Vikman) and his Шаблон:Esccnty "Cha Cha Cha".[19][20]

Calls for boycott
Шаблон:Main The inclusion of Шаблон:Esccnty in the list of participants for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 despite the ongoing humanitarian crisis resulting from Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip during the Israel–Hamas war sparked controversy in Finland as well as several other participating countries, with calls and petitions for broadcasters to boycott the event. In late December 2023, Yle stated that it was "closely following the situation in the Middle East" and holding discussions with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and other Nordic broadcasters;[22][23] this was followed by a petition signed by over 1,500 Finnish music professionals demanding the broadcaster to withdraw from the event or to pressure for Israel to be excluded, to which Yle's head of creative content and media Шаблон:Ill responded that the broadcaster would not oppose the country's participation for the time being but that it had informed the EBU about the requests it was addressed.[24][25][26]
UMK contestant Jesse Markin stated that, in case of victory, he would refuse to take part in Eurovision if Israel is permitted to compete;[27][28] Sini Sabotage, Sara Siipola and Sexmane commented that they would have to consider whether to participate or not,[29] with Sini Sabotage further saying that Israel should not compete at Eurovision. The executive producer for the competition, Шаблон:Ill, clarified that, as UMK is independent from Eurovision, these declarations did not affect their status as participants, adding that Yle had devised a backup plan in the event that the winner did not agree to represent Finland at the contest.[27] The eventual UMK winner Windows95man stated ahead of the show that he would take part in Eurovision in case of victory, although he also expressed his opposition to Israel's participation.[30][29] However, in an interview following his victory, he expressed his uncertainty over his participation, with Autio stating that the broadcaster would resume discussions waiting for the artist's final decision; in case of refusal, runner-up Siipola was reported to be the potential second choice.[31] Windows95man and Henri Piispanen ultimately confirmed their presence in the contest on 20 February 2024.[32]
At Eurovision
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will take place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consist of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final will progress to the final. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw was held to determine which of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show, each country will perform in; the EBU split up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.[33] Finland was scheduled for the second half of the first semi-final.[34]
Ahead of the contest, Yle will organise and broadcast for the fourth year in a row the Eurovision preview show Шаблон:LangШаблон:SndШаблон:Lang. It will consist of two shows airing on Yle TV1 and Шаблон:Lang on 28 April and 5 May 2024, and will be hosted by Шаблон:Ill and Märta Westerlund. It will feature a panel composed of TV journalists Шаблон:Ill and Mikko Silvennoinen alongisde a number of guest artists, who will discuss and evaluate the competing entries across several weeks, ultimately decreeing a favourite.[35]
