Nhan Dan Online – Photographer Ngo Dinh Hoa from Binh Thuan province won the gold medal of the Southeast region photo contest for his picture entitled, ‘To Quoc Goi Ten Anh’ (The Call from Motherland).

The photo was highly appreciated by the judges as it captures the determined smile of young soldiers in naval uniforms, while reflecting their readiness to serve their motherland.

According to Hoa, the picture was taken at the enlistment ceremony held at Nguyen Tat Thanh square in Phan Thiet city in 2013, when new recruits waved off their families and friends to join the army.

Two silver medals went to Dang Kim Binh and Nguyen Bao Son, both from Ninh Thuan province, for their photos entitled ‘Thu Hoach’ (Harvesting) and ‘Mua Kho’ (Dry Season), respectively.

Four bronze medals and six consolation prizes were also presented to other entrants.

Under the theme ‘Land and People of Southeast Region‘, the contest was launched by the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists (VAPA) and Tay Ninh provincial Literature and Arts Association. It received around 1,800 entries by 254 photographers from eight provinces including Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan, Dong Nai, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh and Lam Dong.
