The projects reflect a diversity of models and approaches – from large-scale initiatives by businesses and organizations to small but powerful models from individuals and community groups, ranging from young people to the elderly.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Le Quoc Minh - Member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Head of the organizing committee of the award, emphasized: "The common point between them is the spirit of steadfast service - both close and great; both quiet and fierce. In a world of constant change, the value of a person, a community or a nation lies not only in a strong start, but also in the ability to steadfastly go to the end with the right thing".

In the final round, each project representative will have the opportunity to directly present, debate and dialogue with the jury. On that basis, the jury will select the winning projects in each category, and at the same time decide the highest award – Human Act Prize 2025.

"Good things should be spread to multiply love and sharing in the community," People's Artist Xuan Bac shared.
