The first Quang Ngai Province Open Journalists' Singing Contest in 2025 is an artistic activity within the series of events celebrating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2025).

Each performance has its own nuances, creating an artistic night full of sublimation and pride.
