The exhibition, which aims to honour the country’s cultural values, was organised by the Viet Nam Heritage Magazine (under the Cultural Heritage Association of Viet Nam) and Canon Marketing Viet Nam Limited Company.

Of 3,479 submissions, 100 photos from 66 photographers from HCM City, Ha Noi, Binh Thuan, Thua Thien – Hue, and other provinces and cities were selected.

The theme of this year’s photo contest was “market life”, together with “nature, tangible and intangible cultures”, according to the organisers.

“Many photos were captured in interesting angles. Though market life was a difficult topic, many contestants, both amateur and professional, were able to deliver their message effectively,” photographer Hoang Trung Thuy, head of the judging panel, said.

Prizes are scheduled to be announced next month. 

The Viet Nam Heritage Photo Awards was first organised in 2012 to celebrate Viet Nam Cultural Heritage Day on November 23.
