Speaking at the ceremony, Nguyen Pham Duy Trang, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Youth Union and Deputy Head of Steering Committee 35 of the Central Youth Union, said the contest is a practical activity in response to the fifth Political Essay Contest on Defending the Party’s Ideological Foundation.
This is not only an intellectual forum for political writing, but also serves as a new platform for officials, union members, adolescents, and young people to demonstrate their courage, intellect, and faith in the revolutionary ideal; an occasion to disseminate, spread, and affirm the enduring value of Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh’s thought, and the path towards building socialism in Viet Nam.
Although organised for the first time, digital transformation was strongly applied throughout the contest.
The entire process of submitting, approving, voting, and evaluating entries at all stages was carried out on digital platforms, ensuring scientific, impartial, and transparent procedures.
The contest recorded nearly 200,000 entries, most of which demonstrated careful investment, high-quality content, and diverse forms. Many entries approached topical issues, new and important policies, and breakthrough directions of the Party, reflecting the perspectives of the young generation.
From these entries, the Central Youth Union selected 37 works to receive awards. These include three A prizes, six B prizes, and nine C prizes, evenly distributed across three categories: newspapers/magazines; video clips/radio/television; and graphic products.
At the ceremony, the Organising Committee also presented 17 Consolation prizes across all three categories, along with three collective prizes for units with the highest number of entries and the highest proportion of union members submitting entries.
