"In April, at the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the plenum of the Estonian creative artists’ associations, a young creative person described the situation in the country with serious concern, and reiterated many times and in different contexts – what is wrong in this picture? And much was wrong. We studied 11 000 nature photos during three days and asked each other hundreds of times – what is wrong in this picture? Now, looking at the selected photos, it can be replied – nothing is wrong. I refer to nature photography. Leaving this artificial parallel, it should be pointed out that this time the jury was exceptionally unanimous with respect to the winning photos. This has not always been the case. Fortunately. And something always remains to fret about …"
 
Thus painter Tiit Pääsuke described the work of the Nature Year Photo jury.
The competition Looduse Aasta Foto  - Nature Year Photo, organised by Looduse Omnibuss, Eesti Looduskaitse Selts and Eesti Energia, took place for the 13th time. Contestants and photos were slightly more numerous than last year - 10957 photos, by 1383 authors.

The photos, in 3 categories for children and young people, and in 8 categories for adults, have been judged by a jury consisting of: Rein Maran chairman, Tiit Pääsuke, Tiit Leito, Sirje Tooma, Tõnu Talpsep, Arne Ader, Urmas Tartes, Heiko Kruusi, Sandor Liive and Märt Haamer.

The Loodusfoto aastaraamat 2013 – Nature Photo Annual Book 2013 with the best photos has already been published. In it all award-winning photos can be seen and interviews with the winners can be read.
