All Vietnamese citizens and foreigners over 18 years old can submit ten works each in maximum. The deadlines are July 28 (through direct submission) and July 19 (by post).

Outstanding photos reflecting the beauties of Vietnamese families will be collected and displayed at an exhibition scheduled on June 28, 2011.
