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 been spread strongly when all 63 provinces and cities have authors participating. Hanoi is leading in the number of entries, followed by Quang Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City. As a result, after 7 months of launching (from March 20, 2024 to October 15, 2024), the Organizing Committee received more than 10,300 photo and video entries.

The Organizing Committee awarded prizes to the winning authors.

The contest was also widely promoted on social networks, targeting the overseas Vietnamese community and foreigners. Thanks to that, nearly 600 foreign authors and about 270 overseas Vietnamese authors registered for the contest. According to the Organizing Committee, the contest is a testament to the patriotism and passion of people across the country in promoting the image of 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 serve information and propaganda work effectively. Many works are 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. The contest also helped the authors have special journeys, meet and honor, spread the images and values of special people. The authors come from many different professions, different ages, different ethnicities, different languages, using different devices but all represent a peaceful, beautiful Vietnam, dynamically developing and a happy country.
