Works that receive the majority of public consensus and are decided upon by the Art Council will be selected as the basis for investment in construction of works according to regulations.

After 4 months of launching the sketch contest "Hung Vuong Monument," the Organizing Committee has received 21 plans and entries, each plan includes a statue model, drawings and accompanying explanations.

The process of organizing the scoring and selection of the contest entries and works takes place publicly and transparently at the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site, ensuring the correct order of steps according to regulations based on the project and contest rules.

The Art Council worked with a high sense of responsibility, compiled the selection results and selected 3 typical options and works to enter round 2.

From the 3 selected works, the Council will evaluate and vote on recommendations for the authors to continue editing and perfecting their works, and resubmit them to the Organizing Committee for display and to gather public opinions, scientists and experts.

In 2014, the Prime Minister agreed to let Phu Tho be the first locality to establish a project to build a Hung King monument based on considering the selection of location and character image based on scientific foundations as well as existing documents.

Based on the direction of the Prime Minister and the opinions of relevant ministries and branches, the People's Committee of Phu Tho province has preliminarily agreed on the location for the construction of the monument at Phan Bung hill in the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site and assigned the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site as the Investor to implement the project in accordance with regulations.

According to Mr. Ha Ke San, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Phu Tho province, the construction of the Hung King statue at the Hung Temple historical relic site is extremely necessary, demonstrating the aspirations of the Party Committee, government, people of Phu Tho province and people across the country towards the origin of the nation.

Besides, building the monument also shows respect and gratitude to ancestors.

Phu Tho province has decided to build a Hung King monument to help the younger generation understand the history of the Vietnamese nation, while contributing to preserving, embellishing and promoting the value of Hung King worship in Phu Tho - an intangible cultural heritage of humanity recognized by UNESCO.

Together with the surrounding landscape, the monument will become a public cultural work rich in aesthetics, contributing to traditional education for all generations of Vietnamese youth./.
