On the evening of December 19, in Hanoi, the Ministry of Information and Communications held the award ceremony for the photo and video contest 'Happy Vietnam'.

Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung

Speaking at the award ceremony, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung affirmed: ''A work is a unique perspective, a unique moment, an interesting story, a beauty, a reflection that life, heaven and earth bestow upon humans, if not recorded at that exact moment, at that exact place, it will be lost. And if it is not recorded, it will be a loss.

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. 7,000 photos and videos of Vietnamese people across the country are vivid proof of the strength, creativity and vitality of the People.

Former Vice President Truong My Hoa, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department Le Hai Binh and delegates cut the ribbon to open the photo exhibition.

"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," Minister Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized.

The Minister of Information and Communications said that Happy Vietnam is not only a contest, not only a program but also a festival for Vietnamese people to speak up about their happy lives. That happiness appears in every house, every field, every village, every street.

Catalin Chitu - the only foreigner to win the Second Prize with the photo Skyscraper Shrouded in Clouds shared: I took this photo in 2021, when the Covid-19 pandemic was going on, the whole city was in isolation. After the rain, I looked out and saw the skyscrapers floating in the clouds, very impressive. I learned about the contest through the press and it was open to foreigners, the content had a positive meaning, spreading the image of a happy Vietnam, so I thought why not try to participate. The message of the photo is nothing big, just a temporary emotion from the perspective of a foreigner who has been in Vietnam for 14 years, mainly living in Ho Chi Minh City. I feel that Vietnam is a wonderful country, the people here are definitely very happy, the country is peaceful, the war is over, the people are open, the food is delicious. So there is no reason why Vietnamese people are not happy. Blogger Hoang Nam : As a digital content creator, I am surprised and happy that the work of those who can be called freelance creators is being paid attention to. The award is a recognition, encouragement and motivation for us to be more creative. Photo contests are often arranged, but this contest in particular, I find it to be in the spirit of natural, simple, positive and radiant happiness. In recent years, I have seen many young people have a "revolution" of liking to travel, exploring Vietnam and taking photos. The photos sent to the Happy Vietnam contest will make them more actively participate in promoting the image of the country and people of Vietnam. Looking at the photos in the exhibition, I feel a sense of resonance with the author, I will definitely spread that on my personal page.
