Photographer Huynh Cong Nghia of Ninh Thuan Province has won first prize at the 24th Southeast Region Photo Contest.
The announcement ceremony was held in Phan Rang City in Ninh Thuan Province earlier this week.
Competing with 269 photographers from eight provinces, Nghia won for his colour photograph, Khoanh Khac Tuoi Tho (Moment of Childhood), which depicted a girl playing with a baby goat on a field in Ninh Thuan, a coastal province in the south.
Nghia, a member of the Ninh Thuan Photography Club, said that his “images come from genuine emotions and capture real human beauty. In my works, viewers can see my region’s developments," he added.
The second prize was shared by Truong Thi Hanh of Lam Dong and Tran Dinh Thuong of Binh Thuan.
Their works feature landscapes and sport activities in their homeland.
“The winners captured the beauty of the region and local people in daily life and work,” said Vu Quoc Khanh, chairman of the Việt Nam Photographers’ Association and a member of the jury.
The competition received 1,922 colour- and black-and-white photos.
The event was organised by the Việt Nam Photographers’ Association and Ninh Thuận Province’s Literature and Arts Association to feature the economic, political, cultural and social activities of the region
