This past weekend marked the grand finale of the Vinformation 2025 competition – Pieces of Vietnam, concluding a vibrant and creative two-month journey. The authors of the 25 most outstanding entries, representing secondary and high schools from across the country, came together to create a space of intellectual exchange and to spread a youthful, refreshing love for Vietnamese culture.

In the final round, the teams skillfully applied their interdisciplinary knowledge of social sciences, along with skills honed through two expert-led workshops – “The Art of Book Naming” and “The Art of Book Presenting” – to deliver presentations that were creative, compelling, and full of emotion.

Also at the event, the book “A Journey Around Vietnam” – Second Prize winner – was officially launched, having received its publishing license from Thanh Niên Publishing House (issued on May 9). The first 50 out of 2,000 printed copies were presented to the judges, parents, and participating teams as a heartfelt token of appreciation from the author. Far beyond a simple travel guide, the book vividly captures the experience of exploring 16 destinations across 6 regions of Vietnam through the fresh and honest perspective of a 7th grader – a heartfelt narrative of people, culture, and national identity.

On behalf of the judging panel, Ms. Trần Thị Hoài Phương – CEO of Omega Vietnam Books – remarked: “Vinformation is a brilliant initiative that nurtures students’ passion for exploring Vietnamese cultural values. The entries the students presented not only showcased creativity and dedication, but also reflected the strong knowledge base and outstanding skills of today’s young generation.”

Vinformation 2025 is not merely a competition – it serves as a launchpad for students to develop essential skills in research, design, organization, presentation, and teamwork. More importantly, it ignites a love for Vietnamese culture and inspires the community to uphold sustainable values.
