The contest, organised by the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists (VNAP), is calling for entries from both amateur and professional photographers from across the country.

It is a special activity to accompany other major and important events across the country, honouring outstanding people in various fields and the unforgettable sporting moments during the SEA Games 31, which is held with the theme "For a Stronger Southeast Asia" from May 12 to 23.

Beautiful images, including those about training, practice and performances of athletes, fans cheering and other event-related activities, are encouraged to be sent to the organising board of the contest.

Entries must be digital, in colour or black and white, and must be taken during SEA Games 31. In addition, submissions can either be a single image or a set of photos.

The board says it encourages the authors to renew methods and thinking in art creation related to themes, topics and creative ranges to clearly expose the athletes' aspiration to rise up and overcome their own limits to win in competitions.

Each entrant can send up to 20 photos to www.KhoanhkhacSeagames31.com  before June 10.

The VNAP will announce the winners and hold an exhibition on June 22. The organisers will deliver one gold, two silver, three bronze, and five consolation prizes to the winning photos.
