(NB&CL) That was the emphasis of journalist Do Ngoc Ha - Permanent Vice President of the Quang Ninh Provincial Journalists Association when sharing about the competitions that the Provincial Journalists Association proactively and effectively implemented last year. This initiative not only created a stage for members, but also created a driving force for creativity and strengthened the solidarity of members in the Association, especially contributing to affirming the prestige and role of the press in the overall development of Quang Ninh province.
When members are "free" to be creative
Not all competitions are attractive, but creating a competition that meets the wishes of its members is not an easy task for a provincial Journalists Association. For the Quang Ninh Provincial Journalists Association, one of the highlights of the past year was a series of new competitions that were organized, creating great prestige in the area as well as in the system of provincial Journalists Associations nationwide.
Journalist Do Ngoc Ha shared that in 2024, along with advising the Provincial People's Committee to organize the Quang Ninh Provincial Press Awards and calling on journalist members to participate in press competitions and awards organized by the Central Government and ministries, branches and organizations, the Provincial Journalists Association has proactively launched press work competitions.
Leaders of the Provincial Journalists Association awarded certificates to the authors who won the 2024 Journalism Contest on the topic of work in Quang Ninh province.
Accordingly, in 2024, the Quang Ninh Journalists Association organized 4 competitions (1 writing competition, 3 photo competitions) closely following the province's annual work theme, both serving the professional tasks of each press agency and participating in the common "playground" of colleagues in the province.
Typically, when Quang Ninh province has the annual working theme of "Improving the quality of economic growth; developing culture and people rich in Quang Ninh identity", the Working Program of the Quang Ninh Provincial Journalists Association in 2024 has plans to organize and launch press work contests on the 2024 working theme of Quang Ninh province in a timely manner.
Specifically, the press work contest with the theme "Improving the quality of economic growth in Quang Ninh province" and the press photo contest with the theme "Developing culture and people rich in Quang Ninh identity", the press photo composition contest with the theme "Yen Tu Heritage 2024 - Touching the heritage area", the press work contest with the theme "Press accompanies the development of Quang Ninh province" and the photo contest with the theme "Beautiful moments for a green Ha Long".
To create attraction, the Provincial Journalists Association issued the plan and the Contest Rules early, which were posted on the Provincial Journalists Association's website and social networking platforms; and were sent to branches, inter-branch associations of journalists and sent by email to reporters and journalist members. Even at regular press conferences, press information and activities of the Association, the Standing Committee of the Association urged reporters and journalist members in the area to stay close to the area, discover topics and learn about reality to create journalistic works to participate. And with the professionalism in the implementation method and the active support from local press agencies, the contests were organized very effectively and successfully.
A platform for further progress…
Journalist Tran Thi Truong Giang - reporter of VOV Northeast (VOV) shared: “It can be said that the competitions organized by the Quang Ninh Journalists Association have become a “meeting place” that we, the members, look forward to every year. Because each competition has a theme and requirements for each different type, it is also an opportunity for reporters to “freely” create works, invest effort and improve their professional skills…”.
For journalist Truong Giang and his colleagues, participating in the competitions of the Quang Ninh Journalists Association is like the first “test of fire”. Truong Giang confided: “When producing a passionate work, we really want to bring the work to a wider audience. Therefore, when producing works and participating in competitions, we consider all competitions to be important, requiring investment of effort and enthusiasm. With the methodical organization of the Quang Ninh Journalists Association, I believe that the winning works of these competitions are all of good quality and can absolutely go further, participating in the National Press Awards, National Press Awards…”.

The press work competitions in 2024 organized by the Provincial Journalists Association have been carefully prepared, have a widespread influence, ensuring practicality and effectiveness; have a profound propaganda effect; the information content ensures authenticity and accuracy…”
It can be said that with constant creativity, organizing competitions as a professional meeting place, creating a vibrant playground for members is an effective way in the Association's activities. And to do that, it requires local Association leaders to be very active and proactive along with the dynamism and enthusiasm of journalists in the area.
