Photographers can submit their works in two categories of Realistic Photo and Conceptual Photo. Each photographer can send up to eight photos. Entries should be submitted in a JPG digital format, at a resolution of at least 300dpi, and size of no more than 4Mb.

Photographers can send entries directly to http://www.festivalnhiepanhtre2021.com, until July 15, 2021.

Organizers will select about 170 winning images to display at an exhibition that will be organised in October, 2021 to celebrate the 67th anniversary of Hanoi’s liberation from the French army on October 10, 1954.
