Awarding 22 works winning the Mekong Delta journalism award

This year, the Organizing Committee received nearly 300 entries in four types of journalism. The preliminary judging panel selected 111 of the best entries for the final round. Of the 80 outstanding entries, the final judging panel selected 22 winning entries this year, including: 2 First Prizes, 4 Second Prizes, 6 Third Prizes and 10 Consolation Prizes.

Speaking at the ceremony, Vice President of the Vietnam Journalists Association in charge of the South, Head of the Steering Committee of the Mekong Delta Press Awards, Tran Trong Dung, said: This year is the first year the award is held in Ben Tre province - the hometown of Dong Khoi. Since the end of 2024, the Organizing Committee has received support and approval from the leaders of Ben Tre province. That helps the Organizing Committee have more time to organize the award more carefully.

During the organization process, the Steering Committee received enthusiastic support from affiliated agencies, especially the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department and the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the enthusiastic response of press agencies, reporters and editors in the region. All of these contributed to the 9th Mekong Delta Press Awards achieving good results.

In the near future, when provincial press agencies are merged, besides difficulties and challenges, there will also be opportunities for press development if we know how to take advantage of them.

In particular, the development of online platforms, social networks, and multimedia communications will help expand information access, enhance interaction and feedback from the community and society.

In the coming time, the Association and editorial offices at all levels will pay attention to directing the implementation and selection of high-quality works to participate in major press awards such as the National Press Award, the Golden Hammer and Sickle Press Award, the Dien Hong Press Award and other press awards...

On this occasion, the Laborer Newspaper awarded 50 scholarships to support poor students in Ben Tre province and the Vietnam Traffic Safety Association awarded 200 helmets to the winning journalists.
