Iceland's Erna

Iceland - Iceland has had a very good run of luck over the past few editions, placing in the top 5 since EMC 18. They are also one of the countries to have come second the most, so will Erna bring them that victory they have been so close to many times? Her entry is Ástin mín eina.

Mexico's Yuridia
