Performing during the show in position 5, "Aina mun pitää" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final.

[2] Finland's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest have been selected through national final competitions that have varied in format over the years.

Along with their participation confirmation, the broadcaster also announced that the Finnish entry for the 2015 contest would be selected through Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2015.

The proceeds from the public voting were donated to the Nose Day Foundation (Nenäpäivä-säätiö), which funds projects in developing nations.

At least one of the writers and the lead singer(s) had to hold Finnish citizenship or live in Finland permanently in order for the entry to qualify to compete.

[10] The competing entries were also presented in a televised preview programme on 31 January 2015, hosted by Aino Töllinen, where a panel of guests consisting of Cristal Snow, Hanna-Riikka Siitonen, Toni Wirtanen and Regina Iisa discussed the artists and songs and determined which entry had the best music video.

"Aina mun pitää" performed by Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät was selected as the winner by a combination of public votes (90%) and eight jury groups that represented different sections of Finnish society: Marthas, LGBT, children, Finland Swedes, musicians, the media, Eurovision fans of voluntary UMK viewers and taxi drivers (10%).

[19] In addition to the performances of the competing entries, the interval act featured Emma Salokoski and 2014 Finnish Eurovision entrants Softengine.

[23][24] The band's manager, Teuvo Merkkiniemi, stated: "They try to change the world by their songs and playing: they are an example to other people with handicaps.

[26] On 26 January 2015, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.

The stage lighting transitioned between white and golden yellow and the LED screens displayed industrial brick walls.

The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
