HA NOI -- A monochrome photo entitled Huong Vi Hang Ngay (Daily Taste) by amateur photographer, Dinh Manh Tai, 26, won the top prize at a photography and writing contest dubbed Coffee on a Winter's Morning.

A story about the love between a mother and son and their shared coffee drinking habit by HCM City-based Nguyen Che Quan, 30, won the top prize in the writing category.

The contest, launched last December for coffee lovers and artists alike by The Thao&Van Hoa (Sports and Culture) newspaper and vnphoto.net, and sponsored by Nescafe, concluded today.
