Second prize in the contest, held by Nestle, the Vietnam Association
of Photographic Artists and the photography website www.vnphoto.net,
went to Phan Hien for her work entitled Nho Hanoi (Nostalgia for Hanoi),
while the third prize went to Doan Tat Thang for his work Hanoi Vao
Xuan (Hanoi Enters Spring).
Organisers received
1,363 entries in the contest which was launched early last month with
the aim at giving photographers a venue to share their memories and
thoughts about Hanoi in time for the capital city's anniversary.
"All of the photos really impressed us for reflecting the simple
beauty of Hanoi and its polite people," said Nestle marketing
director Sakulborrirug Chaiyong.
The four-day 1,000
Looks of Hanoi exhibition showcasing the 1,000 most outstanding photos
from the contest was opened on October 3 at the Hanoi Library. An
auction of these photos and 1,000 wooden lacquer boxes from Nestle was
expected to raise about 200 million VND for building a school for poor
children in Hanoi 's Soc Son district, said organisers./.
