Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu or UMK (to you and me) returns as YLE (Finnish National Broadcaster) are now accepting entries for their Eurovision 2015 national selection.

Artists have from now until noon (Finnish local time) Monday September 8th, to submit their entries for consideration. You must upload your entry on-line as the Finns are so media savvy. International singers and writers are encouraged to enter with the stipulation that one of the composers and the lead singer must be a Finnish citizen or resident.

UMK has been a popular national selection process for YLE and has seen them qualify for the grand final at Eurovision for the last 2 years running with our favourite guys from Softengine coming 11th this year with their song ‘Something Better’.

For the complete details,rules and how to submit your entry to YLE see here.
