This is one of the outstanding activities at the National Rural Youth Festival and the 19^th Luong Dinh Cua Award Ceremony in 2024.

Launched in March 2024, the contest attracted 461 projects from all 63 provincial and municipal Youth Unions nationwide, including 84 projects of youth from 20 ethnic minorities. After the semi-final round took place online in September 2024, the 32 best projects were selected for the final round.

Speaking at the program, Head of the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Rural Youth Department Nguyen Thi Thu Van said that the contest aims to encourage creativity and create motive power for rural youth to go further in their entrepreneurial journey.

The projects in this year’s final round are diverse in fields, from smart agriculture and clean production to circular economic models. Many ideas are not only breakthroughs but also have high potential for practical application, meeting the development needs of the agricultural sector.

The jury will award one First prize, two Second prizes, three Third prizes and three Consolation prizes for the best projects in a ceremony held in the evening of November 29./.
