FINLAND – YLE is organising a competition for the new Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) trophy. Two finalists came up out fo 24 submitted proposals. Members of the jury were product designer Saara Renvall, Design Forum’s executive director Petteri Kolinen, UMK producer Anssi Autio and online producer Sandra Saulo.

Minna Viitalähde (right) explains: “Resting on the table, it resembles a sturdy microphone but the prize is not any lifeless chunk. The ball works in the same way as snowballs that each of us has held in our hands at least once in our lives. The glitter flowing in the ball is like a beautiful reminder of the confetti dropping on top of the winner.”

Heikki Herranen (left) explains: “The prize of the Finnish New Music Competition must represent Finnish values, be elegant, responsible and, above all, impressive. As a result, the idea behind the HH20 Award is a pure and clear design language that celebrates the flow of new music in all its simplicity.”

RUSSIA 🇷🇺 Russian broadcaster is the 4th one confirming participation for JESC 2021. Submissions opened and due on August 25th. There will be a final in mid September in Moscow.
EUROVISION 2021 🇳🇱 10 stand-in singers and 14 dancers will conduct the mock rehearsals before the opening of the Eurovision week in Rotterdam, from the art colleges of Albeda and Codarts. Something from which the City Council member, Said Kasmi is extremely proud.
PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 RTP presented the 20 songs which will compete in the Portuguese national selection Festival da Canção, the annual music festival of the country through which the Eurovision entry and artist is selected. The format of the competition will consist of three shows: two semi-finals on 20 and 27 February 2021 and the final on 6 March 2021. In the final, the winner will be determined by the votes from regional jury panels and public voting. For the fifth consecutive year, RTP abolished the language restrictions, so that artists may submit songs in any language(s), even without Portuguese. On 4 December 2020, RTP revealed the names of the twenty participating composers: eighteen invited by RTP and two selected from 693 submissions received during an open call for songs. It was also announced that Jorge Gabriel and José Carlos Malato will host the first semi-final on February 20th, with Tania Ribas De Oliveira and Sónia Araújo hosting the second semi-final on February 27th.
CZECH REPUBLIC 🇨🇿 In a recent interview LAKE MALAWI's frontman, Albert Černý said that he didn't really want to participate in Polish selection last year. He did it more for PR rather than to get the ticket to Eurovision. After all he did a great job in 2019 for him and his country. He said that he was actually praying not to win the national final. The idea for participation came from his Polish manager who told him not to worry as he will probably not win because he's not 100% Polish.
SWEDEN 🇸🇪 Speaking to SVT radio, Melodifestivalen’s producer Karin Gunnarsson revealed the measures taken for this year's show. First, if a participant performed in rehearsals and then gets ill, his back up video performance will be aired instead. Second, the artists will rehearse and work in the venue in their own bubble avoiding contact with other artists and further infections. Universal Music contact person, Frida Boström, said that the lack of audience will give the artists more room to create their stage presentation and focus on it. All six shows will take place at the Stockholm Annexet without an audience.
NORTH MACEDONIA 🇲🇰 Vasil Garvanliev has been re-affirmed as the country's 2021 representative for Roettrdam's Eurovision Song Contest edition. The song will be eventually selected internally. It is the 23rd artist confirmed for Eurovision 2021.
