Euroviisut 1992
Ten entries were selected for the competition from 435 submissions received during a submission period as well as from composers and music publishers directly invited by the Finnish broadcaster, Yleisradio (Yle). Yle held a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, held in Malmö, Sweden. Yle held Euroviisut 1992 at the Typhon Hall in Turku on 29 February, hosted by Kati Bergman. The winner was decided through two rounds of jury voting, the first to select the top four songs, with the second selecting the winner. In the second round, each juror distributed their points as follows: 1, 2, 4 and 6 points [1][2]
In addition to the performances of the competing entries, the interval acts featured Ten Sharp performing "You" and "Ain't My Beating Heart", and Bonnie Tyler performing "Against the Wind" and "Bitterblue".[3][4]
