Comrade Nguyen The Ky said that, in addition to the above advantages and results, in the process of selecting works and projects to be awarded this time, the Standing Council and the Steering Committee of the Award found some limitations and shortcomings that need to be overcome: Among the 87 works participating in the Award, unfortunately, there were many works that only stopped at the basic theoretical perspective and reflected reality in a general way, the research direction was still scattered; the analysis and explanation lacked the necessary depth; lacked scientific solutions and feasibility.
Not many works and projects have systematic, specialized, and in-depth characteristics; some books are just mechanical collections and selections of individual articles, lacking logic, connectivity, and theoretical depth; lacking frankness, directness, responsibility, and especially combativeness in criticism...
11 collectives with achievements in propaganda work on theory and criticism of literature and art.
