Accordingly, Dinh Cong Tam, Ha Van
Dong and Ngo Minh Phuong won the first prizes. Three second prizes, three third
prizes and seven consolation prizes were also presented to the winners.
Speaking at the ceremony, Hoang Trung Thuy, chairman of the jury board, said
this year’s contest received 3,400 entries from photographers nationwide.
The participants followed the content required by the organising board and
expressed the topics through their eye-catching pictures, he said.
The photos were divided into five categories: Nature (landscapes, marine
resources, forest resources, geological resources, plants, wildlife, the
environment), Tangible heritage (architecture, sculpture, art, crafts,
cultural-historical relics, antiques, and national treasures), Intangible
heritage (music, dance, festival, folk games, religion), Life (daily life
scenes, customs, practices, portraits), and Markets.
The category that received the most entries was Life, in which photographers
portray daily life from many interesting angles.
In the category Markets, the entrants brought viewers to markets in different
regions nationwide and expressed the identity, culture and customs of local
people in each place.
The photo contest is held annually to celebrate the Vietnam National Heritage
Day on November 23.
On the occasion, the organisers also handed over 100 photos to a charity group
for a fundraising campaign, which will support people affected by recent
floods.
The same day, an exhibition on 100 photos comprising the winners of the Vietnam
Heritage Photo Awards 2017 opened in Hanoi. Other exhibitions will be held in
HCM City and the central city of Da Nang on November 22-23.
Meanwhile, about 300 artefacts unearthed at various sites in the northern
province of Hai Duong are on display at an exhibition at the provincial museum
to mark Vietnam Culture Heritage Day.
The objects date back to the Ly
(1009-1225) and Tran (1226-1400) dynasties.
The province has more than 2,000 sites where many tangible and intangible
heritage values are preserved, including 220 belonging to the Ly and Tran
dynasties, plus 700 traditional festivals and hundreds of traditional crafts.
The exhibition runs until December 5.
