Vietnam Philosophy Olympiad 2024: Showcasing the intellect, courage, and talent of Vietnamese students.
The 2024 Vietnam Philosophy Olympiad attracted five teams from five institutions: the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi; the University of Science, Hue University; the Vietnam Youth Academy; the Academy of Journalism and Communication; and Hanoi Pedagogical University.
Before the live competition on stage, participating teams prepared a video clip no longer than 2 minutes, which was uploaded to the Philosophy Association's social media page, starting at 00:00 on November 1, 2024, and ending at 24:00 on November 8, 2024. The clip with the most likes, shares, and comments received 10 points, the two clips with the second highest number of likes, shares, and comments received 7 points each, and the remaining clips received 5 points each.
In the stage performance section, the competing teams had to go through four very exciting and intense rounds:
Philosophical Greetings, Philosophical Understanding, Philosophical Talent, Philosophical OratoryFrom the opening remarks to the philosophy knowledge test, the competing teams surprised and impressed the judges, advisors, and audience with their profound understanding, strong political acumen, and all-around talent. The laws, categories, and theories of philosophy, often considered academic, dry, abstract, and difficult to apply, were conveyed by the teams through diverse, modern, vibrant, and creative forms reflecting the youthful spirit of Vietnamese students and youth: singing, dancing, modern dance, rap, drama, presentations, and more.
The teams' meticulously prepared and creative performances received much praise and applause from the judges, the expert advisory board, and hundreds of supporters.At the end of the competition, the Judging Panel honored and awarded the First Prize to the team from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities; the Second Prizes to the Vietnam Youth Academy and Hanoi Pedagogical University.

Dr. Trinh Minh Thai (Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the Council of the Vietnam Youth Academy) presents the Third Prize.The competition organizers also awarded several other prizes to recognize and honor the excellence of the teams in each competition section: The "Talent" prize went to the Vietnam Youth Academy; the "Outstanding Philosophical Greeting" prize went to Hanoi Pedagogical University; the "Outstanding Philosophical Oratory" prize went to the Academy of Journalism and Communication; the "Impressive" prize went to the University of Science, Hue University; and the "Most Enthusiastic Cheering" prize went to Hanoi Pedagogical University.
It can be said that the 2024 Vietnam Philosophy Olympiad is not only an academic competition but also a call to action for Vietnamese youth. As Professor Ho Si Quy (former Director of the Institute of Social Sciences Information - Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, and a member of the judging panel) stated: "What you have demonstrated in today's competition shows that the treasure trove of theoretical and practical values of philosophy is still incredibly vast and needs to be further explored, researched, and developed in the context of the rapidly unfolding digital transformation."
With the continuous development of society and the explosion of globalization, the competition emphasizes that philosophy is the foundation that shapes the thinking, ethics, and values of each individual. Through their performances, the five competing teams conveyed a message about the standard values of Vietnamese youth in the new era: Patriotism, Unity, Diligence and Learning, Responsibility, Compassion, and Creativity. These are important values for Vietnamese youth to fulfill their role and mission in the era of Vietnam's progress.
