Category A:  Single photo

Category B:  Photo story (two to five images presenting a theme or idea)

Category C:  Photographic video (45 seconds in length)

A total of 22,752 photographers from 153 countries and regions submitted 99,339 works in the 2012-2013 contest.  This year marked a new record for the largest number of entries in the history of the Contest.

From roughly 100,000 entries, judges selected one Grand Prize winner, a total of 48 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners from each of categories A-C, and three winners for category D.  In addition, the the best work captured using a NIKKOR lens was selected for the NIKKOR Award, and a single work selected for the Participants Award for Most Popular Entry.

Final judging took place between June 11 and June 14, 2013 with the global panel of 17 judges of varying age, gender, social and cultural background, and even great diversity in their preferred categories of photography, gathering in Tokyo. Winners were selected based on their ability to tell a universal story, diversity, the strength of their message, creativity, and the techniques that best express these concepts.

  • Comment from Grand Prize winner, Dina Bova (Israel)

"It is a melody of autumn - a story about elderly couple living together all Life, each in his personal world, each with his own secrets.  It's also a story about immigrants living in a tiny apartment, still keeping their old festive clothes and other memorable things from the previous life.  It's a story of people who live modest life, but with dignity.  It's a story that has both - sadness and smile… In this artwork the spheres serve as metaphors for dissociation from the outside world and even from each other.  This work is one of my favorites and very important to me. Its story touches me deeply.  So I'm very happy that it was recognized in such a respected competition."

  • Judge's comment on Grand Prize winner

"Our Judges loved this image.  It tells so many stories.  It is at once traditional and respecting of the elders set in a classic living room, yet whimsical with the reference to space travel.  It points to our future while honoring our past.  Indeed deserving of the Grand Prize."

(Chris Rainier)
