Professor Barbara G. Howell awards a prize to Vo Hoang Vu
The competition aimed to popularize the culture, people and sights of Danang and promote international tourism.
One of the founders of the “Go See Do Da Nang” photography exhibition is Professor Barbara G. Howell, from the Lorain County Community College, in Elyria, Ohio and currently a visiting professor at DTU. She explained: “Everyone recognizes that Danang is extremely interesting and beautiful, the ideal tourist destination. We called this year’s subject “Impressions of Danang" to demonstrate the attractions of this romantic city. The success is due to the dedicated support of Management Board, the teachers of DTU and the Board of Directors of the Danang Museum. Thanks go also to the many teams of photographers. I hope that this annual contest will continue to evolve and will reach the hearts of all those who love art and photography in particular.”

More than five hundred photos of Danang were on exhibit. The organizers gave awards for the five best, including a First to Vo Hoang Vu, with “The city in the afternoon sun”, a Second to Nguyen Quang, with “Giving hands”, a Third to Dinh Nguyen Hoang Long, with “A family of Pygathrix cinerea” and two Consolation prizes to Ngo Van Duc, for “Picking Lotus flowers” and to Le Tho, with “Love for the Han river”.
