In adherence to Plan No. 305/KH-UBND dated December 27, 2021, by the People’s Committee of Hanoi on implementing the Code of Conduct for officials, public servants, employees, and laborers in Hanoi’s agencies during the period of 2021-2025; and Plan No. 37/KH-UBND dated February 1, 2023, by the People’s Committee of Hanoi regarding information and propaganda on administrative reform in 2023, the Department of Culture and Sports has developed a plan to organize a photography contest focusing on officials, public servants, employees, and laborers in Hanoi, implementing the Code of Conduct in 2023.
This plan aims to disseminate information about the government’s key programs, plans, focal tasks, activities, and achievements in the administrative reform efforts of the Government, the City, and various agencies and units. It is aligned with the theme for 2023 in the city, emphasizing “Discipline, Responsibility, Action, Innovation, Development.”
The content of the contest reflects the implementation of regulations and codes of conduct by officials, public servants, employees, and laborers in Hanoi, capturing both the beautiful and less desirable aspects. The photographs depict the lifestyles, activities, and behaviors of individuals and organizations living, working, laboring, studying, and engaging in activities in the capital city of Hanoi. This includes the awareness of traffic participation by officials and public servants, maintaining urban civility and sidewalk cleanliness, and consciousness in participating in activities at historical and cultural sites, places of religious practice, and community activities in public places. The images may also showcase exemplary acts of assisting persons with disabilities, children, and women.
The contest is open to all Vietnamese citizens, including those living, studying, and working abroad, as well as foreigners residing, studying, and working in Vietnam. Each author can submit one or multiple entries. The submission period is from August 10 to September 30, 2023, at the Office of Cultural and Family Life Construction, Department of Culture and Sports, 47 Hang Dau, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.
