Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) 2022 will take place in the Logomo arena and conference centre in Turku, Finland’s sixth-largest city, on February 26. For the past two editions, UMK had been hosted in the Mediapolis Studios in Tampere. Logomo previously hosted UMK in 2019, when Finland decided upon the song “Look Away” for Darude feat. Sebastian Rejman. As with last year’s contest, the Finnish entry for Eurovision 2022 will be chosen by international juries (25%) and public voting (75%).
