National Press Awards for Youth Union and Youth Movement

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Minh Triet - Secretary of the Central Youth Union, President of the Central Vietnam Student Association said that with the desire to organize a festival for journalists, honor journalists, good journalistic works written about young people that have the power to spread and move society, since 2017, the Central Youth Union Secretariat has organized a Journalism Award for writing about Youth Union work and youth movements.

After 8 times of organization, the award has received more and more attention from news agencies, newspapers, and reporters inside and outside the Union. This year, to facilitate and apply digital transformation to contribute to improving the quality of the award, the Central Secretariat of the Union has deployed software to receive, synthesize, and grade entries to the award through the website giaibaochi.doanthanhnien.vn. Thanks to that, the procedure for submitting entries has been shortened, while helping the members of the Jury Council to grade entries more conveniently.

This year, the Organizing Committee received 516 entries from 89 press agencies and 18 provincial and municipal Youth Unions (an increase of 88 entries compared to last year). Among them, there were a number of units interested in sending many entries such as: Tien Phong Newspaper (38 entries), Dong Thap Newspaper (30 entries), Nhan Dan Newspaper (22 entries). The highlight is that the number of press agencies and provincial and municipal Youth Unions participating in the contest is much higher than in previous years, especially Tuyen Quang Provincial Youth Union with 88 entries.

Mr. Triet assessed that the entries were all carefully invested, diverse in content, rich in expression methods, reflecting comprehensively, diversely and deeply, with highlights on the work of the Youth Union, youth movements, as well as new policies, models and new ways of doing things of the Union across regions and fields.

“Many journalistic works with exploration, breakthrough, novelty, creativity, and appeal are of interest and welcomed by readers, especially young people. Many works address “hot” issues of current events related to youth and are promptly reflected with many appropriate solutions and recommendations,” Mr. Triet emphasized.

The entries have inspired the Youth Union at all levels and relevant agencies to find effective and suitable solutions to promote the Youth Union and youth movement in the coming time.
