The organising board also awarded gold medals to 42 individuals and silvers to 68 others. The top prizes went to Tran Dinh Van of the Vietnam Cheo Theatre (best author), Meritorious Artist Trinh Thuy Mui from the Hanoi Cheo Theatre (best director), Dao Tuan Hai (best musician) and Nguyen Hong Long (best painter), both from the Vietnam Cheo Theatre.
The 2013 National Cheo Stage Competition, which began on October 19, drew the participation of 17 theatres and art troupes around the country.
The event offered a good opportunity for Cheo artists and actors to meet and exchange experience.
