The competition is a chance for both Vietnamese and foreign photographers to show off their photos of the city.

A spokesperson for the Centre said the contest’s organising committee will collect the best photos on 20 October for the jury to declare the winner and hand out awards on 10 November.

Contestants should send photos on the themes of landscapes, destinations, typical buildings, people and tourism events in Da Nang.

The winner will receive a prize of 20 million VND (857 USD), while the runner-up will bag 10 million VND (428 USD), and two third place prizes will collect 5 million VND (214 USD) each.

This is the second time the contest has been held by the centre after the first successful event in 2017.

The winning photos will be used to promote the city’s tourism and destinations at domestic events and abroad.

Competitors can get more information at www.photo.danangfantasticity.com or fanpage danangfantasticity.

Another photo competition on ‘Preserving the memory of Da Nang’ was launched by the city’s Artistic Photographers Association last week.

Photographers are urged to submit photos related to relics, festivals, arts, crafts, and rituals from 30 October to 12 November.

The association said it will collect the best snaps for publication in an artistic photo book on Da Nang.

An exhibition of 100 photos from the contest will go on public display in December.

The awards ceremony will take place on 23 November.
