Tet Nguyen Tieu, also known as Tet Thuong Nguyen (Full Moon Festival in January), is a traditional holiday of the Chinese people living in Ho Chi Minh City, held on the full moon day of the first lunar month every year. This festival is considered the second most important day after Tet Nguyen Dan. The Tet Nguyen Tieu festival of the Chinese community in Ho Chi Minh City in 2023 took place with the participation of a large number of people.

The Lantern Festival was formed more than two thousand years ago, and is still considered by the Chinese to be the end of the bustling days of Tet, because after this day, everyone will officially enter the working day of a new year. When migrating to new regions, Chinese people often bring with them the baggage of an entire culture and the unique features of the festivals. After settling down in their new homeland, the Chinese have skillfully "polished" the most quintessential features of traditional festivals to combine with the cultural features of their new homeland, thereby helping the typical festivals of the Chinese people have their own identity. In 2024, the Photo and Video Contest "Happy Vietnam - Happy Vietnam" continues to be organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications in coordination with the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists on the website https://happy.vietnam.vn is open to all Vietnamese citizens and foreigners aged 15 and over. The contest aims to honor individuals and groups with positive information products, making practical contributions to the propaganda and promotion of a beautiful image of Vietnam to the world. Thereby helping people in the country, compatriots abroad and international friends access authentic images of the country, Vietnamese people, Vietnam's achievements in ensuring human rights, towards a happy Vietnam. Each contest category (photo and video) has the following prizes and prize values: - 01 Gold Medal: 70,000,000 VND - 02 Silver Medals: 20,000,000 VND - 03 Bronze Medals: 10,000,000 VND - 10 Encouragement Prizes: 5,000,000 VND - 01 most voted work: 5,000,000 VND The winning authors will be invited by the Organizing Committee to attend the Announcement Ceremony and Award Ceremony and Certificate on live television of Vietnam Television.Vietnam.vn
