Winners of the contest presented with certificates from the organising board

The initiative has been applied to the canteen of the HCMUTE, bringing positive results.

The winners of the contest were announced at an award ceremony jointly held by the Vietnam Environment Administration and the Vietnam Green Generation Network in Hanoi on December 18.

The organising board decided to present 20 prizes to 20 outstanding projects including one first prize, two second prizes, three third prizes and 14 consolation prizes.

The project 'Go and Open' with the goal of using the performing arts to raise people's awareness of environment protection and the project 'Hygienic toilets with low cost for local people in flood areas and in the Mekong Delta region' received the second prizes.

The contest was launched on August 1, 2014 with the aim of boosting education and communications, raising public awareness of protecting the environment and encouraging the youth to provide initiatives for environmental sustainability.

Throughout the two months after the launch, the organising board received nearly 2,000 projects from more than 2,500 authors in 30 provinces and cities across the country with a majority of the authors from secondary schools and universities.

The works are very rich in content and diverse in genres and expressions focusing on three themes: communication initiatives and models to call on the community to protect the environment; initiatives and models to collect and treat waste; and initiatives and models on biodiversity conservation, greenhouse gas emission reduction, climate change adaptation and energy efficiency.

Deputy Director of the Vietnam Environment Administration and head of the organising board of the contest, Hoang Duong Tung said that the contest affirmed the deep care and responsibility of the youth to the environment and their active actions and roles in protecting the environment.
