HÀ NỘI — A filmmaking contest has just been launched to honour individuals and organisers for their outstanding contributions to environment protection.

The films under five categories - short motion picture, documentary, scientific film, reportage film and animated cartoon - have environment protection as the theme and can be sent to 556 Nguyễn Văn Cừ Street in Long Biên District until November 5.

The contest’s organisation board will give awards to the best films worth VNĐ30 million (US$1,300).

The other awards are one A, one B and two encouragement prizes for each category, respectively.

The contest is held every three years by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment for eminent filmmakers whose works have contributed to popularising and educating the community on environment protection.
