The event took place in the northern port city of Hai Phong on March 27.
Over the past 5 years, the movement to create and promote literary and artistic works on the topic of the Vietnam People’s Navy in the period of 2021-2025 has created a profound influence on socio-political life in general and the Navy in particular, attracting thousands of professional and non-professional authors to participate.
Many authors have travelled thousands of nautical miles to Truong Sa (Spratly) district, Khanh Hoa province, DK1 platform on the southern continental shelf of the Fatherland, Hoang Sa (Paracel) sea area... to directly meet real people and events, creating thousands of literary and artistic works.
The works clearly reflect the mettle, will, determination, emotions, training life, and combat readiness of the Vietnam People’s Navy soldiers; directly encouraging, motivating, and inspiring Navy officers and soldiers to build their will, faith, and love for the Party, the Fatherland, and the People, firmly protecting the sacred sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland.
From 2021 to 2025, there were 1,157 works in 4 art forms: music, photography, literature, and cinema written about the Navy, including 335 songs, 711 art photos, 87 literary works printed into books by 92 authors, and 24 cinematographic works participating in the contest.
At the programme, the Navy High Command awarded prizes to 55 works with high ideological content and artistic value. Of which, 7 A prizes, 13 B prizes, 20 C prizes, 15 consolation prizes, 17 groups and 12 individuals were awarded Certificates of Merit for their outstanding achievements in composing and mobilising the creation and promoting literary and artistic works on the topic of the Vietnam People’s Navy in the 2021-2025 period.
