According to the Organizing Committee, entering its second year, the Human Act Prize 2024 with the theme “Creating Community” has attracted 128 quality applications. The submitted projects are extremely diverse in terms of fields of activity, ranging from equal education, community health and prosperity, ending poverty to clean energy, sustainable business and responsible consumption and production.

On November 8, the Preliminary Jury announced the list of 32 best projects that will advance to the Final Round. The Preliminary Jury, consisting of experts, journalists, and social activists with extensive expertise and influence in their fields, conducted an objective and comprehensive evaluation of the applications based on the five core criteria that the Human Act Prize always seeks and promotes. The criteria include: Commitment; sustainability; creativity; impact and the ability to spread and inspire projects/ideas.

According to journalist Vu Mai Hoang, Chairman of the Journalists Association of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Head of the People's Weekend Section - a member of the Preliminary Round, in general, the 32 projects that made it to the Final Round are all good projects, with positive impacts on the community. Among these, many projects have been implemented persistently for many years, with results measured by convincing numbers and especially have the prospect of further expansion in scale and impact in the near future.

In addition to the participation of large projects from businesses with a vision of responsibility to the community, we acknowledge the contributions from small-scale projects, from individuals, but with creativity in ideas and implementation methods.

“The Human Act Prize 2024 Preliminary Jury conducted the judging process urgently, but also very impartially, objectively, carefully considered and discussed to select 32 projects out of a total of 128 participating projects that met the award criteria, especially related to the theme of Community Creation,” emphasized Journalist Vu Mai Hoang.

The Chairman of the Association of Journalists of Nhan Dan Newspaper also added: “As an award organized by Nhan Dan Newspaper, with the participation of a number of ministries, departments and branches, with the coordination of VCCorp Joint Stock Company and the media sponsorship of major press agencies, we believe that, with the projects, although they cannot be selected for the final round this year, with the support and companionship from the Organizing Committee, they can achieve more positive results in the coming seasons.”

According to the Organizing Committee, 32 selected projects will continue to compete in the Final Round of the Human Act Prize 2024, where community initiatives are honored and supported to develop, towards the goal of building a more sustainable and prosperous society.

The projects will also be displayed in the Community Action exhibition space at Bai Duong yard, Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam from November 22 to December 1. Meanwhile, the Human Act Prize final round will take place from 8am to 6pm on November 22 at the Front Hall - Thai Hoc area, Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam (Hanoi).
