Ninh Binh photographer wins gold medal at international photo contest

Thang's artwork titled "Những thiên thần Tây Nguyên" was taken in Gia Lai province last year and features children in Tay Nguyen, the Central Highlands region of Vietnam. The theme behind the image is to send a message of the need to protect children in order to secure a brighter future.

The Three Country Grand Circuit 2020 photo contest is co-organised by the Republic of Ireland, Montenegro and Serbia, and sponsored by the Photographic Society of America (PSA).

This year's annual contest, the sixth of its kind, was open to amateur and professional photographers worldwide and consists of 12 sections, all of which are digital.

Most notably, Thang, a native of Ninh Binh province, is a member of the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists (VAPA) who has won many awards in both domestic and international contests throughout the years.
