A photo contest themed “Vietnam’s land and people” has been launched in Nantes, a city on the out skirts of Paris, with the aim of strengthening solidarity and closeness between Vietnamese and other youths in France.

The photos will showcase Vietnam’s beauty through daily life, cultural identities, costumes, festivities, landscapes, and historical relics.

Contestants will be all Vietnamese students in France and French friends who have been to Vietnam to record beautiful moments of Vietnam’s land and people.

The organizing board will choose 50-100 outstanding photographs to exhibit at the Vietnamese Cultural Festival in Nantes in early December.
