An annual spring photo contest held by the Ho Chi Minh Photographic Association (HOPA) has recently announced the winners of this year's edition.

The contest, titled 'Mua Xuan Nham Dan 2022' (Spring in the Year of the Tiger 2022), was centered around photos of homeland spring, animals, and plants.

In just one month, the contest received over 4,000 entries from 364 photographers throughout Vietnam.

From these, only 18 works were chosen for the awards.

Photographers from across the country have captured the dazzling colors of spring with this year's theme.

Many photographers capture not only blooming flowers and natural scenes, but also the vitality and joy of people living in the country's 'new normal' state after the COVID-19 pandemic has been brought under control.
