"This is the first time I have won a gold medal from FIAP -- an international organisation of national associations of photography," Nha, former editor-in-chief of Kien Giang newspaper, said. The former editor engaged in photography ten years ago after retiring. He is especially known for shooting thousands of pictures of cranes, some of them winning local and international awards.
The photo also won A prize at a competition launched by the Vietnam Association of Photography Artists in 2012. Two photos by Nha are also displayed at the salon.
Other Vietnamese photographers who bagged awards include Tran Phong with PCA’s gold medal, Nguyen Ngoc Thach with FIAP’s Honourable Mention, Le Hoang Nhan with PCA’s Honourable Mention and Nguyen Trung Kien with PCA’s silver medal.
PCA Salon 2017 was held for amateur and professional photographers from around the world with approval from FIAP, Photographic Society of America (PSA) and PCA, with nature, photo travel and journalism as the themes.
The photo salon is open to amateur and professional photographers from around the world. All submitted entries must originate as photographs (image-captures of objects shot with light sensitive cameras), must be created by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. By submitting an entry, the entrant certifies the work as his own (aliases not permitted), and permits the sponsors to reproduce entered photographs in full or partially without previous notice and free of charge for publication and/or display in the media related to the exhibition.
Nearly 6,300 photos by 376 photographers from 62 countries and territories were submitted for the competition.
