“2025 is the year when the country has many special holidays with historical significance, such as the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South, the reunification of the country, the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam... Therefore, we want to do a theme related to the solidarity and harmony of the Vietnamese people. Vietnam has 54 ethnic groups, but not everyone understands the life and activities of each ethnic group, so we chose the theme "Colors of life of Vietnamese ethnic groups", Ms. Nguyen Hong Nga, Vice President of Hai Au Photography Club shared.
