The contest’s five topics included a special theme “Market” and four traditional themes of nature, life, and tangible and intangible cultural heritages. The organizing panel received nearly 3,479 entries, including individual photos or albums.

Three top prizes went to "Ke chuyen Ghe Ngo tram tuoi” (Telling the story of the one-hundred-year-old Ghe Ngo - Khmer Boat) by Dinh Cong Tam, "Ve dich” (Heading to the finish line) by Ngo Minh Phuong, and “Xom chai Dam Chuon” (Dam Chuon fishing village) by Ha Van Dong. In addition, three second, three third and seven consolation prizes were also presented to the winners at the awarding ceremony.

The Vietnam Heritage Photo Awards 2017 contest aims to call for the attention of local and overseas communities to discover and share values of Vietnam's natural and cultural heritages.
