Ambassador John Nielsen said that the arts play an important role in social development and photography is particularly interesting, especially for young people using smart phones, as it captures moments and aspects of social development.

The judging panel including Danish and Vietnamese experts, will select 80 of the best photos for exhibitions in Hanoi and HCM City. Entries to the competition can be submitted from June 6 to August 29 and exhibitions will be held in late October.

Ambassador John Nielsen emphasized that the contest aims to address issues and environmental consequences, reflected through photos. He expressed hope that it will contribute to heightening the importance of coping with climate change.

The competition is open for all photographers aged between 18 and 35. The winner will receive a cash prize worth US$2,500 and have the opportunity to attend a training course on photography. All information about the contest can be found at the website or .
