2024 is a year with many artistic activities, including many stage events. I believe that the Mai Vang Award will be a driving force for artists to have more new creations, contributing to bringing Ho Chi Minh City in particular and the whole country in general many good works with a strong sense of humanity. I also believe that on the 30th anniversary of Mai Vang, there will be many more awards opened in provinces and cities across the country."

People's Artist and choreographer Kim Quy is pleased that the 29th Mai Vang Awards has honored artists and closely connected them to the cultural and political life of the whole country. "When attending the Mai Vang Awards, we artists all feel honored to have a year-end festival to meet, chat and review the achievements of art. I really thank the Mai Vang Awards for being a bridge connecting artists with readers and audiences" - People's Artist Kim Quy said.

"I participated in the Mai Vang Award art council, evaluating and commenting on 3 excellent Cultural - Artistic works. These achievements will promote cultural - artistic work towards good things and contribute to building many cultural - artistic works in 2024" - Professor, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Tien optimistically.

Supporting the next generation

People's Artist Hong Van expressed her excitement when seeing many young people appear in the 29th Mai Vang Award Ceremony. "I was surprised by the very humanely staged performance of the artists, with the touching appearance of "real people, real events" on stage. Mr. Tran Van Hong and Ms. Nguyen Thi My, U90, cooking free vegetarian meals are precious examples for juniors to follow, reminding young artists to know how to live for the community" - People's Artist Hong Van was moved.

People's Artist Ta Minh Tam confided: "I can be considered a "family member" of the Mai Vang Award because every year I participate in many different roles, sometimes singing the opening song, sometimes presenting the award, sometimes being a member of the art council. This year, I honored two categories of TV series "Winter Sun" (VTV 9) and the program "2 Days 1 Night" (HTV 7). Most of them have the active participation of young people in the creative stages. I believe that the Mai Vang Award will always remind young people of the spirit of serious and enthusiastic artistic work. Because they are the owners of the current cultural and artistic house".

"I thank Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper for giving wings to the laughter of comedians, including Truong Hung Minh's art stage, which is increasingly flourishing, with many good roles. The 29th Mai Vang Awards Ceremony was invested in a new, youthful and very impressive way" - Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi expressed.

According to singer Dam Vinh Hung, the Mai Vang program has had a great impact on young people's perception of art. "The highlight of the Mai Vang Award is the honoring of the artistic achievements of each artist. As always, to achieve something, you have to work hard and put in effort. I often tell young singers like that. The Mai Vang Award is a meaningful spring bridge between artists and readers, and I have been honored many times" - singer Dam Vinh Hung shared.

Speaking at the 29th Mai Vang Award Ceremony in 2023, Mr. Phan Nguyen Nhu Khue - Member of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, Head of the Propaganda Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee - said: "After the 29th Mai Vang Award, it is expected that Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper will continue to produce many high-quality journalistic works; at the same time, develop a series of meaningful programs to serve society; actively contribute to the cause of protecting the Fatherland and maintaining and developing the Mai Vang Award to the national level".

Ms. Duong Cam Thuy, President of the Ho Chi Minh City Cinema Association: "I am most pleased that the Mai Vang Awards pay attention to literary and artistic forms that are not popular with audiences.
