Hanoi – The Vietnam News Agency (VNA) and the Military Industry and Telecoms Group (VIETTEL) co-launched the second Photo and Video Award “Technology with heart” in Hanoi on February 26.
Themed “Vietnamese Creativity – Path to Prosperity”, the award aims to honour the values that technology brings to life, to inspire creativity, and to foster pride in Vietnam’s groundbreaking technological achievements. By highlighting technology’s transformative impacts across various areas, the contest seeks to lay a sustainable foundation for the nation’s prosperity in the new era, towards the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the 40th anniversary of the Doi Moi (Renewal) process. It will highlight meaningful and emotional stories through photos and videos capturing everyday life, both in Vietnam and around the world.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, VNA General Director Vu Viet Trang said that the second Technology with heart award was officially launched to continue inspiring creativity and pride in breakthrough achievements of Vietnamese-branded technology. The initiative also aims to realise the Party and State's policies on the breakthrough development in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, creating a solid foundation for the nation's prosperity in the new era.
VNA and VIETTEL expect that journalists, photographers, cameramen, and technology enthusiasts will dedicate their passion, time, and energy to participate in the contest by submitting works that capture beautiful and impressive moments about the development and application of science – technology in life, thus spreading positive, creative messages to the public, encouraging the dedication of those working in science and innovation, Trang said.
