The online newspaper VnExpress has launched the Vietnam Vibes by Vietravel contest leading up to the 80th anniversary of National Day on 2/9. The contest aims to capture and share diverse perspectives of the country through photos and short videos.
The contest has two categories: photo and video. Vietnamese and international participants can submit photos and videos that introduce and promote the image of Vietnam, its people, cultural values, and natural landscapes across the country. The goal is to inspire national pride and the desire for development among all people.
Submissions can also reflect the developmental achievements in all aspects of Vietnamese life, culture, and society, especially during the period of renovation, development, and international integration. The organizing committee encourages the inclusion of the Vietnamese national flag.
