Vietnam Art Photo Contest and Exhibition 2024 encourages artists to create new works with valuable content and art, serving the cultural and spiritual life of the people; thereby, contributing to promoting the image of the country and people of Vietnam to the domestic and international public.

Moreover, this year’s contest is intended to celebrate the country's major holidays and the 70th anniversary of the capital's Liberation Day (October 10, 1954 - October 10, 2024).

Vietnam Art Photo Contest and Exhibition 2024 is open to professional and non-professional photographers who are Vietnamese citizens, including those living or working abroad, aged 18 years or older.

Photos must be taken between August 2022 and June 2024 and will be divided into two categories: realistic and conceptual. Those that have been edited or created using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms will not be accepted.

The photo entries must reflect life, people, culture, landscape, nature, nation-building, the fight against natural disasters and pandemics, thoughts, opinions, and ideas about life toward the values of truth, goodness, and beauty.

The organizing committee will award 32 prizes, including three gold medals, six silver medals, eight bronze medals, and 15 consolation prizes.

The awards ceremony of the contest and opening ceremony of the exhibition highlighting the best art photography from around the country are expected to take place in Hanoi in early October and in Hue City in late October. A virtual exhibition will be opened in October.
