There were 2,748 entries, including 2,491 single shots and 257 photo sets, from 406 photographers and photojournalists in 52 cities and provinces around Vietnam.

VAPA chose 104 entries, including 38 photo sets, after consulting with experts from the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology.

The three-day exhibition is open until July 19.

Before reaching Hue, it was also held in Ly Thai To Park near Hoan Kiem Lake in the heart of Hanoi last month.
