Facebook has collaborated with many Vietnamese and international artists and celebrities to launch "Video for Vietnam" campaign with the aim of promoting the beauty of the country and people in Viet Nam to the world

With the likes of People's Artist Hong Van, supermodel Pham Thanh Hang, Miss Universe Viet Nam 2017 H'hen Niê and international artists such as Nas Daily, Gen Halilintar and Erwan Heussaff, the programme seeks to create national solidarity, contribute to tourism and support economic recovery.

Facebook says the effort aims to support the Vietnamese community in economic recovery post-Covid-19.

“Viet Nam is one of the countries that have achieved positive results in the fight against Covid-19. Through the campaign 'Video for Viet Nam', Facebook officially launched the challenge 'I am Vietnamese' to encourage the community to spread national pride and cultural values, in the sense that each Vietnamese person is an ambassador representing culture, country and people of Viet Nam,” said Nam Nguyễn, media partnership manager in Viet Nam for Facebook. 

This challenge lasts from September 20 to October 15 as a short video challenge introducing Vietnamese culture, country and cuisine on Facebook Watch and Instagram. The best videos will be shown in the live stream of the campaign, taking place on October 10, hosted by MC Nguyen Khang and Miss World Viet Nam 2019 Duong Thuy Linh.

“I appreciate these meaningful activities to contribute to the recovery and development of our country's economy after the pandemic. With solidarity and strong determination, I believe we will continue our success story in the fight against the pandemic, building a beautiful image of Viet Nam as well as making our country an attractive destination for both domestic and foreign tourists", said H'hen Nie.

To take part, users need to make a video introducing the culture and landscape of Viet Nam through three pillars, namely food, people and landscape and upload it to their Facebook or Instagram page with the hashtag #VideoforViet NamChallenge.

The posts in the Facebook group 'Viet Nam ơi' with the highest engagement will have opportunities to receive awards which have yet to be specified and their videos will be shown in the live stream on the Viet Nam Facebook page and a series of entertainment pages.
