Song writing campaign is launched to commemorate 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Victory

Taking place until March 28, the campaigns pay tribute to and honour the soldiers and Vietnamese people who sacrificed their lives and made great contributions to the glorious victory of the revolution as well as the efforts to make the nation more beautiful and prosperous. This is an opportunity for artists to find ideas for new works of high artistic value, promoting the Vietnamese image and Quang Ninh tourism to music lovers nationwide.

Associate Professor, Doctor, Musician Do Hong Quan, Chairman of Vietnam Union of Literature and Arts Associations, said: “To generate artistic creations in a short time, the Vietnam Musicians Association has collaborated with Arts and Literature Association units in 63 provinces and cities to inspire fellow artists and musicians taking part."

"In May, there will be a nationwide assessment and a vote on the works via social media, Voice of Vietnam, Vietnam Television, and other platforms. We believe that the new pieces will be filled with emotion and appreciation for Dien Bien Phu's heroic victory.”
