Speaking at the opening ceremony, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized that this is the first time the Ministry of Information and Communications has organized an online contest on the Vietnam Image Promotion Platform - Vietnam.vn, with the aim of encouraging people across the country, overseas Vietnamese, and international friends to apply digital technology to create photos and videos about the country and people of Vietnam.
Since the launch of the contest in June 2023, after 4 months, the contest has attracted the participation of more than 7,000 photos and videos. From there, the Organizing Committee has selected 28 works to award prizes and 70 photos and 14 videos to display at the exhibition. On the Vietnam.vn platform, there have been over 90 million views of these 7,000 works, of which over 40% are from abroad. Some works have been viewed by over half a million people. These are very large numbers, surprising even the organizers.
Minister Nguyen Manh Hung commented: “Each work is a unique perspective, a unique moment, an interesting story, a beauty, a reflection that life, that Heaven and Earth bestow upon humans, if not recorded at that exact moment, at that exact place, it will be lost. And if not recorded, it will be a loss, at the same time affirming that the greatest strength is always the strength of the People. The greatest creativity is always the creativity of the People. The most powerful vitality is always the vitality of the People, with 7,000 photos and videos of Vietnamese people across the country, which are vivid proof of the strength, creativity and vitality of the People.
According to the Minister, digital technology and digital platforms have created conditions for every citizen, no matter where they are, with a smartphone and 4G/5G coverage, to be creative and contribute their voice to create a Vietnam of the people.
Our Party and State always create favorable conditions for people to participate, contribute, and promote their capacity and intelligence in the cause of national construction, development, and integration. The people's strength has been gathered with the aspiration for a strong, prosperous, prosperous, and happy Vietnam.
“Happy Vietnam is not just a contest, not just a program but also a festival of Vietnamese people speaking up about their happy lives. That happiness appears in every house, every field, every village, every street. That happiness belongs to them because they themselves have created that happiness and they themselves speak up about that happiness,” the Minister affirmed.
According to the Organizing Committee, after 4 months of launching from June to October 2023, the contest has attracted more than 7,000 photo and video entries from domestic and international authors. From there, the Organizing Committee has selected nearly 28 outstanding and outstanding works to award prizes and 70 photo works and 14 video works to be displayed at the exhibition.
The 28 works are 28 interesting stories, beautiful memories, filled with happiness or maybe a practical perspective on a life with many difficulties and hardships but always full of smiles, joy and happiness.
