[2] "Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka (Eurovision Song Contest national selection) was the national final format developed by LRT in order to select Lithuania's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2013.

The competition involved an eight-week-long process that commenced on 3 November 2012 and concluded with a winning song and artist on 20 December 2012.

The ranking developed by both streams of voting was converted to points from 1–8, 10 and 12 and assigned based on the number of competing songs in the respective show.

LRT opened a submission period on 12 September 2012 for artists and songwriters to submit their entries with the deadline on 1 October 2012.

Among the artists was previous Lithuanian Eurovision contestant Linas Adomaitis, who represented Lithuania in 2004.

The members of the jury consisted of Darius Užkuraitis (LRT Opus director), Zita Kelmickaitė (musicologist), Saulius Urbonavičius (musician, singer-songwriter), Andrius Mamontovas (musician), Ramūnas Zilnys (music reviewer), Povilas Meškėla (lead singer of the group Rojaus tūzai) and Vaidas Stackevičius (producer).

[25] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.

On 17 January 2013, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.

[30][31] Andrius Pojavis was joined by four backing vocalists: Anatolijus Oleinikas, Jurijus Veklenko, Martynas Puchovičius and Monica Cikanovačiktė.

[32] At the end of the show, Lithuania was announced as having finished in the top 10 and subsequently qualifying for the grand final.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
