Photo, video contest to mark National Day
Young people at home and abroad, and foreigners living in Vietnam, are encouraged to participate in a photo and video contest launched by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union this week.
The contest is part of the union's activities to celebrate the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).
The event, Duoi Bong Co To Quoc (Under the Flag of Vietnam), aims to highlight love for country, and the lives of young people, their dreams and challenges at work.
Images about traditional culture and lifestyle are also encouraged.
Submissions should be no more six photos, both black-and-white and colour, and no more than one minute and 20 seconds for a video.
Organisers will present two first prizes worth VND15 million (US$740) each and two second prizes of VND10 million (US$500) each in the two categories of photo and video.
Three third prizes of VND5 million (US$250) each and dozens of consolation prizes will also be given.
