- Master - journalist THANH HIEP: Vietnam has many literary and artistic awards, but looking back to the present time, there are few awards that have existed for 30 years. The new look of the Mai Vang Award is aimed at an award that has the power to spread throughout the country, enter the spiritual life of the Vietnamese people and is worthy of being a prestigious award over the past 30 years.
The 30th edition of the Mai Vang Awards is an important milestone. Do you feel pressured when implementing this art program?
- The age of 30 is an important milestone, marking the brilliant development journey of Mai Vang Award. I am really under pressure when the goal is that the program must be youthful, joyful and carry the true artistic value to strengthen the friendship between readers, audiences and artists, of which Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper is a solid spring bridge.

However, I am happy and confident when the Steering Committee, the Organizing Committee put their trust in me, and the Party Committee and the Editorial Board of the Lao Dong Newspaper encouraged me to invest in the content of two meaningful events that will take place on the evening of January 8, 2025 at the City Theater, broadcast live by Vietnam Television - VTV9 and live on many digital platforms of the Lao Dong Newspaper and accompanying units.
. The Mai Vang Awards ceremony takes place at a time when many other awards ceremonies are being held simultaneously. How will you make the award have its own mark?
- Over the past 30 years, the Mai Vang Award has been in harmony with many cultural and artistic activities and has its own unique characteristics. The artistic effect is not only in Ho Chi Minh City but also nationwide when every year there is the participation of artists from three regions of the country converging to perform together, reviewing a year of hard artistic work.
The Mai Vang Award has made a practical contribution to the formation of Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space, making the beauty of Ho Chi Minh's culture, ideology, style and morality penetrate more deeply into the people of the city and become a valuable source of spiritual strength for the people of Ho Chi Minh City. This is the unique mark of the Mai Vang Award in an award season taking place at the same time as welcoming the new year.
. Having been the general director of the awards ceremony for many years, how will you portray your personal mark on the 2024 program?
- This year, we have a great source of songs about Ho Chi Minh City from the songwriting campaign "The Country is Full of Joy" organized by the Lao Dong Newspaper. I chose 4 good, meaningful, heroic and youthful songs to create a medley. The participation of artists from many fields singing loudly in praise of the heroic city, worthy of civilization, modernity and humanity is the highlight that I expect.
More impressive is the musical scene that I composed under the direction of the Editor-in-Chief of the Lao Dong Newspaper, To Dinh Tuan, that is "Mai Vang reunion celebrates spring", gathering famous artists who have won the Mai Vang Award such as: People's Artist Le Thuy, People's Artist Minh Vuong, Meritorious Artist Thoai My, Meritorious Artist Tu Suong, Meritorious Artist Vo Minh Lam and the Blue Sky Dance Group, actors from Lac Long Quan Stage to perform together.
In addition, there will be the appearance of famous artists in a medley of spring songs and two singers loved by readers and audiences - People's Artist Thanh Lam and singer Tung Duong - promising to bring the public an emotional artistic feast.
. Which color or performance do you believe will become an unforgettable highlight for the audience at the Mai Vang Awards ceremony?
- The main color of the Golden Apricot Awards for 30 years old is brilliance, sparkle and youthfulness. More than 100 artists, singers, film actors and dancers will gather in a cultural space imbued with the generous spirit of Southern culture.

. Last year, the art market was quite vibrant. Will there be any more highlights in the 30th Mai Vang Awards ceremony?
- Currently, two music programs are classified as major cultural events of the country: "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" and "Anh trai say hi". These "anh trai" will be present and join in the joyful and exciting atmosphere of the Mai Vang event at the age of 30.
What is the difference between this year's Golden Apricot Awards ceremony and last year's?
- It is the participation of famous artists who are also the characters telling the story of the cultural and artistic flow of Ho Chi Minh City associated with the Mai Vang Award event, including: People's Artist Tran Ngoc Giau, People's Artist Tran Luc, People's Artist Le Khanh, People's Artist Viet Anh, People's Artist Trinh Kim Chi, People's Artist My Uyen, People's Artist Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, People's Artist Ta Minh Tam, Meritorious Artist Cong Ninh, artist Tu Trinh...
. The award ceremony has always been a big festival for artists for many years. As both an artist and the program director, how do you feel about this year's Mai Vang Award?
- The Mai Vang Award in my heart is a place that contains a lot of love. From 2020 to now, the Mai Vang brand has also expanded its practical effectiveness with the activities of the "Mai Vang Charity" and "Mai Vang Gratitude" programs. With the companionship of Nam A Bank, over the past 5 years, gifts and money have been given to help more than 800 artists who are facing many difficulties and illnesses, and to show gratitude for the great contributions of artists, teachers, intellectuals, doctors... with a total value of billions of VND.
More touchingly, in recent years, in addition to the votes of readers and audiences for artists in entertainment categories who were awarded the Mai Vang Award, the Editorial Board of the Lao Dong Newspaper also awarded the "Lifetime Artist for the Community" award to People's Artist Kim Cuong and People's Artist Le Thuy; awarded the "Artist for the Community" and "Outstanding Artist for the Community" awards annually to MC Dai Nghia, Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh, MC Quyen Linh, rapper Den Vau, etc.
And in the past 4 years, the annual "Outstanding Cultural and Artistic Work" award has also been given to many artists, promptly encouraging painters, photographers, writers, and poets with excellent works that are highly appreciated by experts... These things have nurtured my passion, motivating me to excel through each season as the general director.
The art program celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Mai Vang Awards and the 30th Mai Vang Awards ceremony - 2024 includes 3 parts: Gratitude, Connection and Stepping up, with the participation of: People's Artist Kim Cuong, People's Artist Tran Ngoc Giau, People's Artist Le Thuy, People's Artist Minh Vuong, People's Artist Tran Luc, People's Artist Le Khanh, People's Artist Viet Anh, People's Artist Ta Minh Tam, People's Artist Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, People's Artist Thanh Lam, People's Artist Kim Xuan, People's Artist Phuong Loan, People's Artist Tan Giao, Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh, Meritorious Artist Thoai My, Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi, Meritorious Artist Tu Suong, Meritorious Artist Vo Minh Lam; artists Quoc Thao, Tu Trinh, Thanh Hang, Hong Trang, Mat Ngoc singing group; designer Vo Viet Chung; MC Quynh Hoa, MC Quyen Linh; actors Le Khanh, Lam Vy Da, Huynh Quy, Chau Nhat Tin, Hoang Trung Anh, Huy Truong; model - rapper La Tran Duc Thien and the "brothers" of the 2 programs "Anh trai say hi", "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai"...; dance groups: Bong Sen, Bau Troi Xanh, Si Si Traditional Music and Dance Theater.
