The contest aims to promote widespread awareness within society, particularly among artists and young people, about the history, development, and glorious traditions of the Vietnam People’s Army.
The contest also sought to inspire patriotism, civic responsibility, and pride while encouraging creativity in literature and arts on the themes of the armed forces, revolutionary warfare, and the image of Uncle Ho’s soldiers.
