Immediately following the commemorative ceremony, Dr. Ngo Thi Kieu Oanh - Head of the Organizing Committee - summarized the "Beautiful Photos of Female Union Members at USSH" contest. Dr. Oanh stated that while posting photos on Facebook is nothing new, holding a photo contest was unprecedented at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. The initial purpose of the contest was to honor the most beautiful images of female union members of the University on October 20th. The contest provided an opportunity for female union members to share impressive and memorable moments from their professional and daily lives with colleagues inside and outside the university. Through this, they would get to know each other better.

Dr. Ngo Thi Kieu Oanh (President of the University's Trade Union, Head of the Organizing Committee of the contest) delivered the closing remarks for the "Beautiful Photos of Female Trade Union Members at USSH" contest.

Professor Pham Quang Minh announced and presented individual awards to female union members.

According to union members, the "Beautiful Photos of Female Union Members" contest was a great success. The contest truly created a platform for union members to see each other, get to know each other, share experiences, and strengthen their bonds of love and affection.
