On the afternoon of October 12, 2024, the Award Ceremony and Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Vietnam Wildlife Birds and Animals Photo Exhibition took place at Vivo City Shopping Center, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City.
This is a contest jointly organized by the Vietnam Wildlife Photography Club (VWPC), Wildtour LTD, BirdLife International and sponsored by the Ho Chi Minh City Photography Association.
The contest was launched from July 15 to August 30. The Organizing Committee received 402 entries from 117 domestic and foreign authors.
Notably, many unique entries were sent to the contest organizers, capturing magical moments of high interaction between birds, wild animals and the beautiful natural environment of Vietnam.
After the deadline for submissions, the judges, including photographer Hoang The Nhiem, photographer Dang Ngoc Sam Thuong, photographer Bui Trong Hieu, Dr. Yong Ding Li and Master Nguyen Hoai Bao (bird expert), along with Dr. Le Khac Quyet (mammal expert), selected 75 best photos from 45 authors to award prizes and exhibit, attracting global attention and the need for international cooperation to care for and conserve migratory birds.
The first prize went to the work “Snub-nosed Monkey” by Chung Van Thanh. According to the jury, this photo was carefully invested and showed the photographer’s dedication because capturing a photo of a snub-nosed monkey is not easy. This endemic primate species is currently very rare and is being strictly protected to avoid extinction.
The Jury also announced 2 Second Prizes, 3 Third Prizes, 4 Consolation Prizes and other awards such as Impressive Photo Prize, Beautiful Photo of Endemic Birds, Beautiful Photo of Migratory Coastal Birds, Beautiful Photo of Endemic Animals ... for a number of other authors.
According to the Organizing Committee, through the lens of photographers, this photo contest and exhibition introduces beautiful moments of Vietnamese birds and animals in nature to the public. In addition to the beauty visible to the eyes, each image taken from every land will be a vivid story about wild animals and their connection to the diverse ecosystem on the "S-shaped strip of land".
