Journalist Duong Vu Thong said that, according to the general comments of the organizing committee and the jury, the spring newspaper covers this year are quite diverse, evoking a proud image of the activities of building and defending the Fatherland, the efforts to overcome difficulties towards the successful implementation of the 2024 theme of Ho Chi Minh City, which is "Determination to effectively implement digital transformation and Resolution No. 98/2023/QH13 of the National Assembly".
The images on the spring newspaper covers highlight the beauty of a prosperous and happy future for the country. Most of the newspaper covers meet the criteria of being beautiful - impressive - spring-like and true to the purpose. In particular, the difference in scores between the awards is not much. This shows that most of the spring newspaper covers have quite consistent quality, are close to the vivid reality of life, and meet the expectations of the majority of readers.
“The annual Spring Newspaper Cover Award is a unique feature of Ho Chi Minh City journalism every time Tet comes and spring comes. Spring newspaper covers are like vivid artistic paintings, journalistic works rich in creativity and enthusiasm of the authors and imbued with the humanity of journalism in social life. The organizing committee and the jury highly appreciate and commend all newspapers and magazines that submitted spring newspaper covers this year to the contest, contributing actively to encourage and motivate the movement to have beautiful spring newspaper covers next year,” shared journalist Duong Vu Thong.
