That is Tri Duc Secondary and High School (HCMC).

Invite photography experts to talk with students

This year's contest also recorded a "record" number of contestants from Tri Duc Secondary and High School. Of the total 5,999 high school exam photos submitted for the preliminary round, students from this school owned 1,166 photos, accounting for nearly 20%.

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 school pays special attention to the Tuoi Xanh composition contest and every year guides all students of the school to participate.

He said the school realized that through the competition, students learned more skills about 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 nurture 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 there is a further training program for them, so that they can develop their talent and express their passion," said Mr. Luan.

Learned a lot from the Youth Photo Contest

Truong Dai Bao Khang - a student of class 11C3 at Tri Duc Secondary and High 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 photography. Thanks to that, he had the opportunity to experience his passion and was encouraged to participate in the Tuoi Xanh Photo 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 to be patient to capture beautiful photos...

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