HCM CITY – The Việt Nam Heritage Photo Awards 2017 on Monday (July 10) begins its sixth annual edition, with the aim of preserving Việt Nam’s cultural values.

The contest welcomes submissions of photos on nature, life, tangible and intangible cultural heritage, from locals and foreigners.

The awards ceremony will take place in November.

About 100 photos will be chosen for display in exhibition areas in HCM City, Hà Nội and Đà Nẵng from October 2017 to March 2018.
