The Finnish participating broadcaster, Yleisradio (Yle), selected its entry in the contest through a national final.

Yleisradio (Yle) held the Finnish national final on 10 February 1968 at its television studios in Helsinki.

The winner was chosen by postcard voting where each voter awarded 5, 3, and 1 points to his three favorite songs.

On the night of the final Kristina Hautala performed ninth in the running order, following Sweden and preceding France.

At the close of voting, Finland picked up one point from Norway and placed joint last with the Netherlands of the 17 entries.
