The closing ceremony, held at 30-10 Square in Ha Long Ward, was organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in coordination with the Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee.
The four-day festival, running from March 31 to April 3, brought together 27 mobile propaganda teams from across Vietnam, featuring more than 900 artists, performers and propagandists. Performances were staged at 15 locations across Quang Ninh and Bac Ninh provinces, attracting large audiences of residents and tourists.
According to organisers, the programme combined clear communication themes with high artistic quality, while showcasing diverse regional cultural identities.
At the awards ceremony, the organising committee presented 37 first prizes and 60 second prizes, alongside certificates of merit for outstanding contributions.
Gia Lai’s Dam San General Song and Dance Theater delivered five performances, four of which received awards. The dance piece “Echoes of the Great Forest”, set to music by Minh Tuan, won a first prize.
Three other performances earned second prizes: the ethnic instrumental ensemble “Celebrating the Grand Festival”, arranged by Khac Phu; the song and dance “The Central Highlands on Festival Day”, composed by Tran Nhat Duong; and the solo “The Central Highlands Then and Now”, composed by Le Trung Hien.
