NDO – Winners of a photo contest honouring Vietnamese ethnic groups were announced in Hanoi on November 22 with the first prize going to Truong Huu Hung from Binh Thuan province for a picture entitled ‘Playing’.
Two second prizes were won by Nguyen Thanh Ha and Nguyen Cong Binh, both from Hanoi, for their photos named ‘The Old Days’ and ‘Festive Days in Pho Cao commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province’, respectively.
Three third and five consolation prizes were also presented at the awards ceremony.
The contest was launched in June by the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists (VAPA) and the Association for Literature and Arts of Ethnic Minority Groups. It received nearly 11,000 entries submitted by over 830 photographers from 62 cities and provinces across the country.
The entries reflect the daily life, traditional customs and costumes of Vietnamese ethnic groups living across the country, particularly ethnic minorities.
The competitors also captured in their works the outcomes of Party and State’s efforts to preserve and promote Vietnamese cultural identities as well as achievements made by indigenous people in developing rural areas, reducing poverty and eliminating hunger.
As many as 250 best entries of the contest are on show at an exhibition that opened the same day and will last until November 30 at the Temple of Literature in Hanoi.
