This year’s contest is expanded with increasingly encouraged submissions of images of the central coastal province of Binh Thuan- a potential tourism centre, Le Thanh Hai, Editor-in-chief of the Vietnam Heritage Magazine said at the ceremony.
She added that the contest is intended to be a catalyst to bring Vietnamese images to the world.

The winning photos will be announced on October 10 and the award ceremony is slated for November 25.
