Nghe An: Year-end review and awarding ceremony for creative activities in 2025

The year-end review and awarding ceremony for creative activities in 2025 not only honors outstanding works and authors but also affirms the vitality of the culture and arts of Nghe An; where each photograph, frame, page of writing or product contributes to spreading the image of a compassionate, distinctive Nghe An with an aspiration to rise.

Present at the ceremony were Ms. Tran Thi My Hanh, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Nghe An; Mr. Pham Ngoc Canh, Deputy Head of the Commission for Publicity and Mass Mobilization of the Provincial Party Committee; Mr. Ho Mau Thanh, Chairman of the Provincial Union of Literature and Arts Associations, together with a large number of artists, authors, and artisans from inside and outside the province.

At the photo and video contest “Nghe An hanh phuc – Happy Nghe An 2025”, the Organizing Committee received 570 works, vividly reflecting the natural beauty, people, and positive changes in the province’s socio-economic life. As a result, the Organizing Committee awarded 10 prizes for the photo category and 3 prizes for the video category; many outstanding photographic works were sponsored by the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists, affirming the professional quality and prestige of the contest.

The movement for composing and promoting literary and artistic works under the theme “Chung mot co do Viet Nam”, after 10 months of implementation, attracted 495 works by 147 authors across various artistic fields. The Organizing Committee awarded 10 A prizes, 25 B prizes, and 30 C prizes, acknowledging the exploration, creativity, and sense of responsibility of the artistic community in addressing major national issues. Among them, the work “Dai ky tung bay tren Quang truong Ho Chi Minh” by journalist Tu Thanh (Health & Life Newspaper) won a B prize, leaving a strong impression through its imagery and message.

Speaking at the ceremony, Ms. Tran Thi My Hanh emphasized: “The three creative activities summarized today, though different in their respective fields, share the common intersection of love for the homeland, pride in Nghe An, and the aspiration to contribute to the province’s sustainable development. The honored works and products are not only of artistic value, but also serve as ‘soft ambassadors’, contributing to the promotion of the image of a compassionate, culturally rich Nghe An to friends nationwide and internationally”.
