Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013

Estonia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "Et uus saaks alguse" written by Mihkel Mattisen and Silvia Soro. The song was performed by Birgit. The Estonian broadcaster Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR) organised the national final Eesti Laul 2013 in order to select the Estonian entry for the 2013 contest in Malmö, Sweden. The competition featured three rounds: two semi-finals and a final. In each semi-final, ten songs competed, with the top five, as determined by a jury panel and public vote, advancing to the final. The final winner was chosen over two rounds of voting. Initially, a jury panel and public vote selected the top five to proceed to the superfinal. Ultimately, "Et uus saaks alguse" was selected as the winner by a public vote.

Estonia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2013. Performing during the show in position 2, "Et uus saaks alguse" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 18 May. It was later revealed that Estonia placed tenth out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 52 points. In the final, Estonia performed in position 7 and placed twentieth out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 19 points.
