After the songs were performed the expert jury gave its results which, as expected, were very close:

- Great Wide North 38 points
- Arion 35 points
- Diandra 32 points

So it was up to the televote to decide the winner of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu, The Contest Of New Music, abbreviated as UMK 2013. They shortlisted Diandra, Mikael Saari and Krista Siegfrids and the presenters announced that Diandra was third. Then it was time to announce the winner between Mikael and Krista.
