Amateur and professional photographers nationwide are encouraged to send submissions to a photo contest capturing Vietnam and its development that was launched recently in HCM City.

The event is organised by the Vietnam Photographers’ Association in co-operation with the city-based Saigon Giai Phong (Liberated Saigon) newspaper.

It is called Dat nuoc ngan hoa (Country of Thousands of Flowers), and aims to highlight Vietnamese people and their efforts to develop the country.

The themes of Vietnamese culture and lifestyle are also included. Photos of women and children of ethnic minority groups are welcomed.

The organisers welcome works capturing HCM City’s culture and lifestyle, and local people in daily life.

They also encourage pictures of Truong Sa archipelago and the daily activities of the soldiers who are protecting the country’s sovereignty in the sea and islands.

Panoramic and freestyle photos are encouraged. Traditional methods and photoshopped photos are also accepted.

“Our contest celebrates the 50th anniversary of Southern Liberation and National Reunification Day (April 30). Through the event, we hope participants tell and share different stories about Vietnam and its people through their art,” said Nguyen Khac Van, deputy-in-chief of Saigon Giai Phong newspaper, a member of the contest’s organising board.

Van said that the contest also celebrates 50 years of his newspaper’s first issue.

All entries should be taken from April 30, 1975 to March 31, 2025. They can be a single photo or a group of photos with informative captions.

The jury will select 35 pictures to compete for the top prizes, including two gold medals, four silver medals and six bronze medals, and prize money of VND600 million (US$24,600)

The best works will be exhibited.

The contest will receive works in colour, and black and white at the organiser’s website sggp.org.vn/thianh50nam before April 1, 2025.
