Over one hundred thousand photos featuring Vietnam’s landscape and people, particularly steadfast island soldiers, will be collaged into the country’s map.
The photos were taken as the result of a one-month program, “Yeu Lam Viet Nam” (Our Beloved Vietnam), running from June 11 to July 18.
Professional and non-professional photographers sent 106,848 photos to the program during the period.
Some active members each submitted more than 600 pictures.
The photos, which capture the Southeast Asian country’s stunning landscape, cheery locals in their daily lives, soldiers steadfast in their safeguarding of the fatherland’s seas and islands, and expat Vietnamese elsewhere in the world, are highly expressive of the contributors’ patriotism and solidarity.
As soon as the program was launched, it received more than 94,000 Facebook likes and contributions.
The photos have been collaged into an S-shaped Vietnamese map. Each photo is located with its own coordinate and stored permanently.
After the program closed last Friday, many online forum members expressed their wishes to contribute more photos.
The organizers thus decided to extend the deadline of the photo contributing program.
More photos are now welcome at www.go.vn/biendong to create a bigger map-shaped collage.
The completed map collage, which is expected to set a record, will be printed and presented to the soldiers and people in Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.
