The portrait of two traditionally dressed H'mong children in Van Chai Commune by Le Viet Khanh won first prize at the contest. This year, organizers received more than 1,595 entries from 256 professional and amateur photographers. Overall, there were 20 winning photos (two first, four second, six third and eight consolation prizes). "The colorful brocade and innocence of the children urged me to capture this moment. I learned that the meticulousness of the embroidery could indicate the success of H'mong women in nurturing family happiness,” Khanh said. He also won the third prize with his photo set "Spring in Lao Xa," depicting scenes in the village filled with cherry and plum blossoms.

“The Beauty of Remote Borders” by Pham Hoai Nam, taken in Lung Tao Commune, Dong Van District, was also awarded first prize. "When I spotted these ethnic children carrying herbs against the backdrop of majestic mountains, I hurriedly parked my car and reached for my camera," Nam recalled. Contest jury head Trieu Thi Tinh, deputy director of Ha Giang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said the two first prizes displayed a harmony between landscapes and people, which is imbued with the rich culture of the northern province.
