This year, YLE invited several respected singers to participate in four semi finals. Each singer performed two songs, and the best song from each artist went to the final. During the final, the twelve songs above will be reduced to six songs. The winner will be chosen from these six songs in a second round of voting and will represent Finland at the 51st Eurovision Song Contest.

Finland will have to participate in the semifinal in Athens as Geir Rönning's song Why failed to qualify for last year's final in Kyiv.
