"This demonstrates the attraction of the award, the interest of reporters, journalists, and the press public in the fields of culture, sports, and tourism. In particular, the photojournalism category also has a large number of participating works while many national press awards currently lack works in this category.

The award was held when the culture, sports and tourism sector was carrying out many tasks and activities at the same time. That was the material and inspiration for journalists to complete their works. We are very happy because we have a basis to choose the best works," Deputy Minister Trinh Thi Thuy shared.

The Deputy Minister also shared that the first time launching the contest, the Organizing Committee could not help but worry about whether the interest of the press in the fields of culture, sports and tourism would meet expectations and desires. However, Ms. Thuy assessed that more than 1,000 entries were truly a surprise, demonstrating the interest of the press in the activities of the Ministry and the culture, sports and tourism sector nationwide.
