Submissions for the photo contest themed Dat nuoc ngan hoa (Country of Thousands of Flowers) will officially close at 11:30 a.m. on April 1.

As of Monday at 4 p.m. on March 31, the organization board received more than 5,000 entries. The number of photos sent to the organizing committee is increasing as the deadline for closing the gate to receive photos is approaching.

The entries must have been taken between April 30, 1975, and March 31, 2025. They must be photos that have never won any awards in competitions organized or sponsored by the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists (VAPA).

Sai Gon Giai Phong (SGGP) Newspaper, in collaboration with the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists (VAPA), has launched the photo contest celebrating the 50th anniversary of Southern Liberation and National Reunification (April 30, 1975-2025).

The competition also aims to mark the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925-2025) and the 50th anniversary of SGGP Newspaper’s first issue (May 5, 1975-2025).

The photo contest is organized to promote the photography skills and passion of photographers at home and abroad and honor valuable photographic works of the struggle for national liberation and the process of building and developing a peaceful and prosperous Vietnam.
