In the secondary school category, students from this school also sent the most photos, a total of 201.

Mr. Nguyen Duy Luan, vice principal of Tri Duc Secondary and High School, said that the Tuoi Xanh composition contest is of special interest to the school and every year it guides all students of the school to participate.

He said the school realized that through the competition, students learned more skills in this art form, adapting to the digital age with the currently developing social networking platforms.

Not only stopping at the level of encouragement and motivation, Mr. Luan said that the school also implemented activities to support students participating in the contest, as well as nurturing their passion for photography.

For example, the school has invited photography experts to organize many tutorials for students on the operations and skills of this subject to take beautiful pictures.

Or to prepare for the final round this weekend, the school organized for students to visit Bach Dang wharf area - the area where the final competition will take place, helping them have the opportunity to practice before entering the official competition day.

"Especially through this contest, the school also discovered many students with talent in photography, from which it has created additional training programs for them, so that they can develop their talent and express their passion," said Mr. Luan.

Learned a lot from the Youth Photography Contest

Truong Dai Bao Khang - a student of class 11C3 at Tri Duc Secondary School - entered the final round of the Tuoi Xanh Photo Contest. Khang said he is passionate about photography because his father is an architect and also a photographer. He partly inherited his father's "genes".

Khang said that in school there is an event organization club, where he learned many skills, especially about photography. Thanks to that, he had the opportunity to experience his passion and was encouraged to participate in the Youth Photography Contest.

Nguyen Tran Minh Anh - a student of class 12C6 - said that during the preparation for the Tuoi Xanh Photo Contest, he had the opportunity to learn a lot about techniques, such as how to adjust the camera and camera angles, and how to be patient to capture beautiful photos...

"I learned more about the photos and works that won high prizes from the previous Tuoi Xanh Photography Contest. I learned more skills, as well as how to capture moments in the lives of people around me," Minh Anh said.

On the evening of April 7, 100 middle school students and 100 high school students will compete in the final round of the Youth Photography Contest. Contestants will experience a sunset cruise on the Saigon River and take photos directly.

The Youth Photo Contest for the 2023-2024 school year is organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training in collaboration with Tuoi Tre newspaper, Phuong Nam Education Investment and Development Joint Stock Company and Nikon Vietnam (Viet Hong Import-Export Joint Stock Company).
