The panel of judges consisted of 10 people, including Milán Radisics, president of NaturArt.
It is welcome news that 10% of the entries are from Hungary. Prizes are awarded in 12 categories, children from the age of 11 to14 and youngsters aged 15-17 can compete in separate categories. The overall winner is Szergej Gorskov with his picture of a Kamchatka bear. Further winners include: Csaba Karai, Orsolya Haarberg, Béla Násfay, Márk Somogyi, Tibor Dombovári.
