Hanoi (VNA) – A clip-making contest on promoting the rights and interests of the LGBT community in Vietnam opened for submissions on March 29.

It is a chance for each individual to share his or her ideas on how to build a humane society where differences in gender are respected.

The Center for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender, Family, Women and Adolescents (CSAGA), the US Embassy in Vietnam and the Bread for the World organisation co-oganised the contest.

All entries must be submitted in the form of a clip lasting between 5 and 7 minutes and are encouraged to include subtitles in both Vietnamese and English.

Submissions can be sent to clipcontest@csaga.org.vn or to CSAGA headquarters at the 4th floor, A9 building, Com Vong street, Dich Vong Hau ward, Cau Giay district, Hanoi.

The deadline for submissions will be May 20.

Ten awards, including one first prize and two second prizes, will be announced at a ceremony scheduled to take place on June 20.
