Representatives
of leaders of the provincial youth union present the first prize to excellent
candidates of Group A (primary students), B (junior high school students), and
C (high school students).
The festival
gathered talented teenagers, aged from 6 to 18, who are living and studying in
the province. According to the rules, the competition runs through three
rounds: online preliminary round, competition on stage and final rounds. A
total of 74 candidates from different districts and cities engaged in the first
round. Based on the number of likes, comments and shares on Facebook pages of
the Hoa Binh youth centre and of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s
chapter in Hoa Binh City, the management board selected 52 candidates to enter
the staging round, of whom 30 advanced to the final round.
In the last round, the contestants brought a series of carefully crafted
performances to the stage. Their performances praised the beauty of the country,
late President Ho Chi Minh, the country’s revolutionary tradition, activities
of youth organisations, life and friendship, among other themes.
After a full-day competition, the judges, comprising of veteran musicians,
choreographers and singers, awarded three first prizes, six second prizes, nine
third prizes and 12 consolation prizes, equally divided among candidates in three
groups. Nguyen Thu Huyen and Dinh Thanh Thao from the Thai Binh primary and junior
high school (Hoa Binh city) topped Group A and B, respectively. Meanwhile, Nguyen
Phuong Thao from the provincial ethnic boarding high school came first in Group
C./.
