Co-organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the People's Committee of Bac Ninh Province, the event attracted 26 mass art troupes representing workers and labours from 24 provinces and cities.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung affirmed that, during the resistance war for national salvation as well as in the process of building the country, the image of resilient workers in battle, as well as enthusiasm and creativity in production labour, has entered poetry and music through immortal songs. The singing of workers and labours has entered the history of the mass cultural and artistic movement.

The contest is a cultural and artistic activity of practical significance, demonstrating the political determination of the entire cultural industry to carry out the task of "reinvigorating and stepping up cultural development" under the direction of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, marking the 110th birthday of General Secretary Nguyen Van Cu (July 9, 1912 - 2022) and the 93rd founding anniversary of Vietnam's Trade Union (July 28, 1929-2022).
