Themed ‘Pride of Vietnam Frontier’, this year’s contest aims to create a playground for both professional and amateur photographers, particularly those who take photos with flying camera (flycam) techniques.

The entries are colour photos taken via flycam, from aircraft and other means, highlighting the beauty of all regions around the country.

The deadline for the entries will be June 30.

The organising board will present a first prize worth VND25 million, two second worth VND15 million each, ten third worth VND10 million each and ten consolation prizes worth VND3 million each.

The winning photos will be exhibited at Nguyen Van Binh book street in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City in September.
