The Penlogue 

In "𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐸𝑟𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝐷𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 – 𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑡𝑛𝑎𝑚’𝑠 𝑀𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑒," 𝑎𝑠 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑇𝑜̂ 𝐿𝑎̂𝑚 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑑, now is the time—more than ever—for young Vietnamese to step forward, to prove themselves through action, and make their voices heard in shaping the future of our nation. Your words are not just reflections of the past but pathways to what lies ahead—a bridge between history and the future, a connection to the world, and a powerful affirmation of your own voice.

​

Moreover, cultural heritage is the thread that binds communities together, and it must be preserved amidst the currents of time and modernization. By encouraging writing in both Vietnamese and English, we aim not only to honor linguistic freedom but also to nurture a spirit of ownership—where writers not only safeguard their stories but actively share them with the world. This contest is a platform for cultural dialogue, uniting generations and fostering a deep pride in "The Spirit of Us".

​

We are searching for passionate, talented young writers—voices of a bold, creative generation eager to express themselves and share their stories. More than that, we believe this is a generation that dares to live, act, and leave a lasting mark on the global literary landscape.
