Finland is not taking part in the Junior Eurovision song contest, but the pan-Nordic MGP Nordic. The 2009 edition will be the 5th one but only Finland's third participation. The final songs are picked out from 111 songs sent in. Denmark won the two first editions in 2002 and 2006 (in between the JESC was born of this idea but Nordic countries soon pulled out and restarted their own one). Norway has won the next two editions in 2007 and 2008. The Finnish participants in 2007 - winner Sister Twister and runner up Linn Nygård - are both running to enter Europviisut 2010 in the internet selection. Like in the first ESC each country sends in two songs. Here you can listen to this year's participants in the Finnish MGP 2009. The final is tomorrow Friday October 9 live on FST5. The international final will be on November 28, 2009.
