This is the second year the contest has been held online on the Vietnam image promotion platform at https://vietnam.vn. Compared to 2023, the contest has had a strong spread when all 63 provinces and cities had authors participating. Hanoi ranked first in the number of entries, followed by Quang Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the exhibition and award announcement, Member of the Party Central Committee, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized that the photo and video contest "Happy Vietnam - Happy Vietnam 2024" is an important event to honor people across the country, overseas Vietnamese and international friends who apply digital technology to create photos and videos about the image of the country and people of Vietnam.
This year's contest has more than 10,300 works by nearly 6,900 authors, including 600 foreign authors and nearly 270 overseas Vietnamese authors. On the Vietnam.vn platform, there have been more than 90 million visits, of which over 35% are from abroad.
According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, more than 10,000 stories about the peaceful, beautiful and happy Vietnam have been recorded by authors in pictures and videos, from mountainous areas to cities, from the mainland to islands, from familiar things to heroic moments of the nation. Many authors have perspectives, although not professional, but vivid, close to real life, reflecting the many aspects of the concept of happiness. Although the films are very short, the photos are taken by phone, the authors still tell vivid stories about life around them.
The contest is a testament to the patriotism and passion of people across the country in promoting the image of the country, its people, and its beautiful cultural traditions to the international community. At the same time, the contest also shows a new trend in social media work, based on the application of digital technology, digital platforms, and mobilizing the strength of the entire population to develop digital data to effectively serve information and propaganda work.
The organizers selected 60 videos and 150 photos to display at the exhibition, of which 34 outstanding works were awarded. Each photo and video category has 17 awards, including 1 Gold Medal, 2 Silver Medals, 3 Bronze Medals, 10 Encouragement Awards and 1 most voted work.
