Young Photography Festival 2021 launched

The event is organised every two years by the Department of Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibitions under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The festival aims to encourage local photographers to reflect on the contemporary life of young people, while also helping to promote the image of Vietnamese landscape and people around the world.

Themed Tu Do (Freedom), organisers hope that young photographers entering the competition will show their unique creativeness through photographs taken during 2020 and this year, with an insight into the modernity and dynamism of life.

Contestants will be able to compete in two categories, realistic and conceptual photos.

In total, 19 prizes will be awarded, including two first-place prizes, three second-place prizes, five third-place, and nine consolation prizes.

An awards ceremony followed by an exhibition featuring the competition’s winning photos is scheduled to take place in October in Hanoi.
