The 11th National Award Ceremony for External Information in 2025 will be broadcast live at 8:10 PM on December 12th on VTV1. This is an annual event to honor collectives and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to external information work.

The goal of the award is to contribute to spreading the image of Vietnam, its people, culture, and intellect to the world, while simultaneously bringing the world closer to Vietnam.

Celebrating outstanding works

In 2025, the 11th National Award for External Information continued to attract many high-quality entries, demonstrating timeliness, creativity, and strong impact. The event affirmed its position as a prestigious award with many unique characteristics in the field of media.

This year's awards recognize works and products in eight categories, including: Vietnamese newspapers/magazines; foreign-language newspapers/magazines; radio; television; books; photography; digital and multimedia products; and initiatives and products with valuable foreign information dissemination.

Prize structure and strategic role

The prize structure includes one Grand Prize for all categories, along with one First Prize, two Second Prizes, three Third Prizes, and five Consolation Prizes for each category. The Awards Committee may also consider other forms of recognition for positive contributions. The final number of prizes will be determined based on the quality and quantity of entries.

Marking its 11th season, the award continues to be innovated to align with modern media trends. The event directly implements the Politburo's Conclusion 57-KL/TW on improving the quality of external information work and contributes to the implementation of Resolution 59-NQ/TW on international integration. At the same time, the award also reflects the development achievements, the results of implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party, and looks forward to the 14th National Congress of the Party.

With its established prestige, the National Award for External Information continues to be an important source of motivation for journalists, media professionals, and cultural and artistic figures in their journey to promote the image of Vietnam to the world.
