Responding to the "Online Sports and Folk Dance" Contest launched by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union, the Standing Committee of the Nghe An Provincial Women's Union has developed an implementation plan with the theme "Healthy and beautiful dance" in an online format.

This is an activity with many positive meanings, both creating a forum and playground to attract members and women; training, improving health as well as creating cohesion and solidarity among members and women, contributing to the effectiveness of the association's movements in general; spreading the activities and images of modern Nghe An women, with knowledge, morality, health and aspirations to rise up, and responsibility to family and the Fatherland on cyberspace.

This is also a practical activity in response to the Campaign "All people practice physical training following the example of great Uncle Ho" for the period 2021-2030 and to realize the goal of improving the cultural and spiritual life of women in the spirit of the Resolution of the Congress of Women's Delegates at all levels.

After nearly 3 months of implementation since the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union launched it on March 27, 2022, all 24/24 organizations under the Provincial Women's Union (including 21 districts, cities, towns and 3 units of the Provincial Military Command, Provincial Border Guard Command, Provincial Police) have enthusiastically organized and sent clips to the organizing committee of the contest at the provincial level.

In order to select quality clips, some units organize contests throughout the district, some units organize exchanges to select clips for the contest such as Vinh city, Yen Thanh district, Hoang Mai town...

Some units choose facilities to stage and film their competition clips; other units form teams to practice elaborately and systematically, investing in quality in terms of content, costumes, music, and staging.

The submitted clips are censored by the Organizing Committee of the contest in the province, ensuring that they meet the conditions according to the rules and are posted on the Fanpage "Nghe An Women"; the clips go through 2 preliminary rounds and the final round; scoring is based on online voting (likes and shares) and the judges' scores.
