Ääni ja Vimma (meaning in Finnish "The Sound and the Fury") is a popular annual band competition in Finland.
It was founded in 1996.
[1] Current rules require that band members be between age 15 and 25 and that the bands have not released an album or have a record deal.
Since 2000, a youth competition called Junior Ääni ja Vimma has also been held for those under the age of 15.
The winners of the competition do not automatically obtain a record deal, but the high-profile of the competition in Finland has led to winners getting record contracts, including bands such as 2009's winners Wedding Crashers, and 1997's Come Inside.
