To welcome the Thang Long – Hanoi’s 1,000th birthday on October 10th, 2010, the Vietnam Post Company has held a stamp design contest.
The contest, entitled “Hanoi: Construction and Development” is launched to highlight the city’s role as Vietnam’s capital and its socio-economic achievements. These include modern Hanoi’s and its industrialization and modernization process.
At the same time, the Van Nghe (Culture and Art) newspaper has organized a programme to select the best 100 poems about Hanoi. The contest is opened to both Vietnamese and foreigners. The award ceremony is expected to take place on the Vietnam Poem Day which is also the first full moon day of the coming lunar year.
The Hanoi Music Association has announced plans to introduce new musical works about Hanoi, including a musical play entitled Hoa Lu - Thang Long (the old names of Hanoi) by famous composer Doan Nho.
The association has recently published a comprehensive book on Hanoi music named ‘The Hanoi Songs in the 20th and early 21st centuries,’ which gathers 300 songs about the capital city and background on its musical development.
