In his speech, he emphasized that the contest aims to inspire photographers to create exceptional works that possess both rich content and artistic value. These works will not only serve the cultural and spiritual life of the Vietnamese people but also promote the beauty of Vietnam’s land and people to the world.
The biennial event provides a platform for photographers from all over the country to showcase their best photographic artworks to both national and international audiences.
