According to Giang Manh Ha, Chairman of the Dong Nai Association of Literature and Arts and People's Artist, the works that won the 2024 Dong Nai Literature and Arts Awards demonstrated maturity in content expression and artistic criteria, highlighting development achievements and monumental projects that will benefit future development. The works conveyed many messages about the development of various fields in the locality and the country, truthfully reflecting the cultural traditions, history, customs, and people of Dong Nai.
Among the 44 winning entries, 6 received the A prize. Notable among them is the novel "Cactus Flower" by writer Nguyen Tri. This work won first prize in the novel category of the Literary Writing Contest on the theme of workers and trade unions organized by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor . "Cactus Flower" is based on the life of the author Nguyen Tri. Another notable work is "Long Thanh International Airport, a monumental project of the century" by author Do Duy The, which won first prize in the Dong Nai Art Photography Contest in 2024.

Besides familiar authors in the Dong Nai literary scene such as Tran Viet Binh, Bui Quang Huy, Nguyen Thai Hai, Dam Chu Van, Cao Hong Son, etc., this year's award also features many young authors such as Tran Dinh Thang, Huyen Quy, Le Vu Anh Dao, and even authors with disabilities like Tran Huynh Quynh. Their presence is proof of the boundless spirit of art, overcoming all limitations to contribute and bring valuable works to serve the people's need for artistic appreciation.
Despite the participation of numerous artists and writers from various disciplines, the 2024 Dong Nai Arts and Literature Awards still lacked a folk arts category.
