This is the second year the contest has been held online on the Vietnam image promotion platform at https://vietnam.vn. Compared to 2023, the contest has had a strong spread when all 63 provinces and cities had authors participating. Hanoi ranked first in the number of entries, followed by Quang Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the exhibition and award announcement, Member of the Party Central Committee, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized that the photo and video contest "Happy Vietnam - Happy Vietnam 2024" is an important event to honor people across the country, overseas Vietnamese and international friends who apply digital technology to create photos and videos about the image of the country and people of Vietnam.
More than 10,000 stories about the peaceful, beautiful and happy Vietnam have been recorded by the authors in pictures and videos. From the mountains to the cities, from the mainland to the islands, from familiar things to heroic moments of the nation.
“For the Border Guard, happiness is working together to build, construct, and watch a rich, beautiful, and developed Vietnamese border. Athletes are happy when the national flag appears on the international arena; doctors are happy when they can save many patients.
The happiness of ethnic minorities is to preserve the traditional culture of the nation and promote it to everyone in the country and internationally, to study well to return to serve the homeland, to see the homeland develop every day... Happiness is sometimes simply being yourself and happiness often comes from the simplest things around us", the Minister of Information and Communications reviewed the photos and videos that mark happiness.
Many authors have perspectives that, although unprofessional, are vivid and very close to real life, reflecting the many aspects of the concept of happiness. Although the film is very short and the photos are taken by phone, the author still tells a vivid story about the life around him.
Digital technology helps people record, preserve and share the happy moments they see. Happiness is a great thing but it is right inside us. Happiness is familiar and simple. But many times we have happiness but pass by it, forget it or we pass by without knowing it. The Happy Vietnam photo and video contest also conveys the message to save the moments, whether happy or sad, but all towards a better life.
“According to the World Happiness Report 2024 released on March 20, 2024, Vietnam is in the top 10 happiest countries or territories in Asia. Vietnam ranks 54th globally, up 11 places compared to 2023. In that journey of happiness, the contribution of the People and the Happy Vietnam 2024 Awards Ceremony represents part of those contributions. This is a testament to the spreading power of the Happy Vietnam spirit, which has gone beyond the framework of a competition, a country, a region,” Minister Nguyen Manh Hung assessed.
The Organizing Committee said that the Contest is a testament to the patriotism and passion of people across the country in promoting the country, people, and beautiful cultural traditions of our nation to the international community. At the same time, the Contest also shows a new trend in social media work, based on the application of digital technology, digital platforms, and mobilizing the strength of the entire population to develop digital data to effectively serve information and propaganda work.
Many works were presented with a new, objective perspective on life, society and the development of the country and people of Vietnam, conveying the message of a happy, civilized and powerful Vietnam. Many works recreated the creative journey of the authors associated with the flow of life in the past year, connecting them with the characters they met and came into contact with. The contest also helped the authors have special journeys, meet and honor, spread the images and values of special people.
The authors come from different professions, different ages, different ethnicities, different languages, using different devices, but all represent a peaceful, beautiful, dynamically developing and happy Vietnam.
The organizers selected 60 videos and 150 photos to display at the exhibition, of which 34 outstanding works were awarded. Each photo and video category has 17 awards, including 1 Gold Medal, 2 Silver Medals, 3 Bronze Medals, 10 Encouragement Awards and 1 most voted work.
