The Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists (VAPA) launched the eighth International Artistic Photo Contest in Vietnam 2015 (VN-15) on May 25, calling for entries of all amateur and professional photographers worldwide.
The biennial contest in Vietnam is sponsored by the International Federation of Photographic Art and the French organisation Image without Borders. 
VAPA Chairman and head of the VN-15’s steering board Vu Quoc Khanh said the competition is a chance for Vietnam to learn from the global photography’s quintessence and popularise excellent works of Vietnamese and international artists. 
The VN-15 covers four sections of freestyle, women at work, sublime moments, and still life for both colour and monochrome photos.
