Young Vietnamese photographers have surprised both the jury and audience of photo contest entitled “Vietnam: Youth and Development”, with their outstanding images.

Nguyen Huu Son won the first prize for Ket Noi Bang Nhung Nu Cuoi

The contest attracted a number of participants who expressed opinions and even social views through their photographs.

The photos were divided into a number of categories based on topics such as poverty reduction, educational development, environmental protection, co-operative integration.

Even though the organising board received a total of 569 photos over three months, only 20 were selected for the final round.

The first prize was given to Nguyen Huu Son for the photo Ket Noi Bang Nhung Nu Cuoi, roughly translated as 'Smiles Connect Us'.

Son shared, “Although foreign visitors and those born in Vietnam are not always connected through language, everyone knows what a smile means."
