Aava was the Finnish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham performed by the group Edea.

It was performed 21st on the night following Belgium and preceding Norway. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place with 22 points.

Under the new relegation rules, Finland did not acquire enough points over the last few years, thus they were relegated from participating in the 1999 contest as a result.
