Submissions include photos, photo essays, video reports and documentary films showcasing countries and peoples of ASEAN as well as the integration process of each country member into the ASEAN community.

Every organization, individual or group of authors can submit five of their works in maximum for each genre to the International Communications Cooperation at 61 Thợ Nhuộm Street in Hà Nội from May 17 to September 19.

The awarding ceremony is scheduled for this October on the occasion of the 17^th ASEAN Summit./.
