"Aurinko laskee länteen" - Viktor Klimenko

The Finnish Final was held on February 13th at the YLE TV Studios in Helsinki, hosted by Antti Einiö & Marion Rung. Before the final there was a semi-final - click here for details: FINNISH SEMI-FINAL 1965 The songs were voted on by 10 regional juries & a Nordic "expert" jury. In the case that the two didn't agree, a third YLE jury would make the ultimate decision, however it was decided that when the regional juries and "expert" jury didn't agree, the result of the "expert" jury would take precedence. The result of the 10 regional juries appears below.
