Focussing on the theme ‘Culture of Red River Delta’, the submissions provide a comprehensive look on the region’s socio-economic development achievements as well as the life of people.

As a result, 14 prizes were presented to the best entries, with Nguyen Viet Rung from Hai Phong City winning the gold prize for his photo entitled ‘Le Hoi Den Long Khe’ (Long Khe Temple Festival).
