Launched 9 months ago, the contest received 905,000 entries across various media formats.

Minh Huan, President of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and chief of the contest’s steering committee, said that the current landscape presents a complex mix of favorable opportunities and challenges. “Hostile forces, reactionary elements, and political opportunists are exploiting new technologies, digital platforms, and algorithms to wage aggressive subversive campaigns,” he said.

“Consequently, firmly safeguarding the Party’s ideological foundation has become a fundamental and vital task for affirming the enduring value and vitality of Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, and the theory underlying the Party’s renewal policy. This entails upholding truth and righteousness, critiquing and combating erroneous, hostile, and reactionary views and actions, consolidating unity within the Party and consensus across society, and bolstering resilience against all attempts at subversion,” said Mr. Huan.

The Voice of Vietnam’s Current Affairs Department (VOV1) received an A Prize in the radio category and VOVWOLD was honored with a Promising Entry award.
