The winners of Sámi Grand Prix 2025 have been announced as Piera Eira ft. MÁIJÁ, who won the song section with their entry “Dálkkiid čada” and OSCAAL who won the joik section with his entry “Sávrrimus”. Jovnna Levi was the runner-up in the songs section whilst Johan Ivvár Gaup placed second out of the joiks.
Two Winners Crowned
The winners in each category were determined by a split between a professional jury vote, which accounted for 40% of total points, as well as a televote, which makes up the remaining 60%. Also on the night, Melodifestivalen legend Jon Henrik Fjållgren was awarded the Áillohaš Music Award to honour his contributions to Sámi music.

What is Sámi Grand Prix?
Created in 1990 as part of the Sámi Easter Festival, Sámi Grand Prix is a music competition consisting of two parts, a modern song competition, comparable to Eurovision and its companion national selection shows, as well a joik competition, each with six competitors. That means we’ll have two winners, a winning song and a winning joik.
Both sections are decided on by a mix of an expert jury and a televote in a 50/50 split. All of the songs must be performed at least partially in one of the Sámi languages we went through earlier, and the usual rules you know and love of not releasing your song before the official release apply here too.
