On the evening of June 16, the Closing and Awarding Ceremony of the Literary and Artistic Creation Campaign with the theme “Journalism – Journalists in the Capital and the Whole Country 2025” took place in Hanoi. Held on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day, the event contributed to honoring journalism and journalists – the silent “soldiers” on the cultural and ideological front.

The literary and artistic creation campaign with the theme “Journalism – Journalists in the Capital and the whole country 2025” was organized by Hanoi People Magazine. After nearly a year of implementation, the Organizing Committee received 226 works from 131 authors. Of which, the poetry genre had 164 works from 83 authors; the song genre had 34 works from 22 authors; the stage script genre recorded 28 works from 26 authors.

In his closing remarks, journalist Vuong Minh Hue, Editor-in-Chief of Nguoi Ha Noi Magazine, affirmed that the campaign is an opportunity for us to honor and widely spread the spirit of “living is giving” of journalists – those who do not hesitate to devote themselves to the truth and justice. This is also the first time a campaign for literary and artistic creation about journalism has been organized on a national scale.

The organizers honored the first prize winners.

The campaign received the response of many artists, journalists and non-professional authors across the country. Some authors participated in one genre, some submitted many works in all three genres (poetry, drama, songs). In particular, there were authors over 80 years old who still responded to the campaign and had works highly appreciated by the Evaluation Council. This proves that the love and respect for journalism is very great, overcoming all distances in geography, age and profession. The works participating in the campaign mostly adhered to the theme, many works showed the author's exploration in the form of expression, depth of thought and a serious attitude towards artistic work.

Poetry is the dominant genre with a large number of entries. The works show diversity in approach and form of expression. Many of the works are emotional, realistically portraying the image of dedicated and brave journalists, while praising the mission of the profession and reflecting on the silent sacrifices.

The organizers awarded second prize to the authors.

Drama genre, many concise scripts, rich in realism, clearly reflect the professional conflicts and courageous choices of journalists in a high-pressure working environment. The works show creativity in character building, situations, and at the same time contribute to honoring the image of true journalists with social responsibility.

The Songs category clearly shows diverse, authentic and respectful perspectives on journalism and journalists. Most of the songs participating in the campaign are emotional, with diverse styles from lyrical to modern, pop-rock. Many works have emotional melodies, concise lyrics, vividly portraying the image of journalists in both work and life.

The organizers awarded third prizes to the authors.
