On the morning of June 27, in Vinh City, the People's Committee of Nghe An province held the Nghe An Press Awards 2023.

Also attending were comrades: Bui Dinh Long - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; representatives of Military Region 4; leaders of departments, branches, localities, press agencies and journalists in the province.
The Nghe An Press Award 2023 has 178 entries, the largest number of entries after 20 years of organizing the award. Of which, the electronic newspaper category has 93 entries, the printed newspaper category has 45 entries, and the radio and television category has 40 entries. Particularly in the electronic newspaper category, photojournalism and media, e-Magazine accounts for a fairly large number.
The works eligible for this year's award reflect quite comprehensively the political, economic, cultural and social fields of the province in 2023.
The authors have invested a lot of effort, discovered many new topics, provided timely information, and offered positive and practical solutions to problems arising in life.
The works participating in this year's competition have many rich and diverse topics, especially the topics of economic development, green economic priorities, as well as newly emerging issues, shortcomings in social life, implementation of major policies of the province...
In terms of form of expression, this year's entries were invested in quite elaborately and systematically with diverse forms of expression, new approaches to many types such as talks, documentaries, reports, investigative reports, notes, monographs, interviews...
Especially the e-Magazine genre on electronic newspapers is presented in an eye-catching and attractive way. Television productions are elaborately staged, with beautiful camera angles, showing the typical mark of the visual journalism genre.
Meanwhile, radio productions have vivid sounds, attractive scripts, and a combination of on-site sounds and announcer narration, thereby expressing the author's intentions and goals.
However, according to the Judging Council, many articles have good topics but the approach and implementation of the topic are superficial, lacking in depth, and not really invested. The number of works on advanced models, new factors, good people, and good deeds is still small, and has not been properly invested.
When selecting works to participate in the competition, the authors still focus on content and do not pay much attention to presentation and form of expression, reducing the combativeness, timeliness and attraction for readers, listeners and viewers.
The judging panel conducted two preliminary and final rounds, ensuring objectivity, honesty, and high classification.
After the preliminary round, more than 100 works achieved 6.5 points to enter the final round. After two rounds of judging, the Judging Council unanimously submitted to the Provincial People's Committee to recognize 4 works that won First Prize; 6 works that won Second Prize; 10 works that won Third Prize and 14 works that won Encouragement Prize.
