The contest was launched in May 2019 and drew enthusiastic response from professional and amateur authors inside and outside the people’s public security forces (PPSF). Specifically, the organisers received a total of 535 entries across various categories, including printed media (300), television (156), radio (38) and online media (41).

The press works produced bold, authentic and diverse coverage of the security and order topics and the movement “All people protect national security”. Their contents focused on analysing and clarifying the leadership of the Party and State toward the PPSF; the noble nature of PPSF cadres and soldiers in working, fighting and building forces; as well as the close relationship and active contributions of sectors, social organisations and the people to the PPSF on the security and order front.

Many of the entries highlighted the outstanding examples, new models and good practices in ensuring security and order and in implementing the movement “All people protect national security”. Some others strongly criticised the false views of hostile forces and resolutely fought against bureaucracy, corruption and other negative manifestations.

At the ceremony, the organising board presented 4 first, 8 second, 12 third and 20 consolation prizes to the most prominent works.

Deputy Minister of Public Security Nguyen Van Thanh speaks at the event.

In his speech, MPS Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Thanh congratulated the award winners, expressing his hope that the ministry and the VJA would continue coordinating to organise more contests under the theme “For national security and peaceful life” in the coming periods.
