As part of the ongoing Quan The Am (Avalokiteśvara) Festival, authorities in Ngu Hanh Son District and the Da Nang Art Photography Association held a closing and awards ceremony for the first edition of the Non Nuoc - Ngu Hanh Son art photography contest 2024 on Wednesday.

According to the contest’s organisers, after more than 3 months of launching, the Non Nuoc - Ngu Hanh Son art photography contest received enthusiastic response and participation from photographers nationwide with 324 entries (31 collections and 293 single photos).

Most of them closely followed the theme of the contest. They not only depict the stunning beauty of local landscapes and nature but also reflect the soul of relics and craft villages, and the vibrancy of human life.
