This is an annual event whose target is advertising landscapes, people, customs as well as specialities of provinces and cities in Vietnam, thereby promoting tourism industry and attracting investment of the locals.
With the message “Each citizen collects a photo to express love and patriotism”, the contest officially starts from the 1st November 2013 and ends on the 30th November 2014. A total of VND 500 million in prize money will be awarded to the winners. Every citizen at the age of 15 and more regardless of sex, religion, nationality, the author or owner of the photos concerning Vietnam-country-people are able to join the contest with an unlimited number of the photo.
