VTV.vn - Party General Secretary To Lam, Secretary of the Central Military Commission, attended the award ceremony of the press awards on the glorious Communist Party of Viet Nam and President Ho Chi Minh, themed “Steadfast Under the Party’s Flag,” in Ha Noi on February 2.

The event was held to mark the 96th founding anniversary of the Party (February 3, 1930–2026) and celebrate the success of the 14th National Party Congress.

Launched on February 5, 2025, on the occasion of the 95th founding anniversary of the Party, the contest became a broad and meaningful political and ideological activity, encouraging strong emulation movements across society and within the military.

The organisers received more than 8,000 entries in five categories: commentary, feature, reportage, photo and multimedia.

Many entries were of high quality and strong combativeness, clearly demonstrating the dedication, responsibility, courage and intellect of journalists as pioneering soldiers on the ideological and cultural front, affirming their political commitment and responsibility to the Party, the Fatherland and the people.

The preliminary jury selected 116 works for the final round and proposed awards for 66 authors and groups of authors with outstanding works, including five A, 11 B, 25 C and 25 consolation prizes. Certificates of merit were also presented to 10 collectives with outstanding achievements in organising and promoting the contest.
