The Da Nang government has approved a plan for organising a contest to seek the best ideas for floral displays and lighting decorations for Tet 2024.

Accordingly, the upcoming contest will be open to students from the faculties of Architecture and Electricity at the University of Science and Technology, the University of Architecture and the Duy Tan University, along with architectural consulting units, architects and artisans nationwide.

Entries are highly recommended to make impressive designs for floral displays and lighting decorations at many architectural highlights in the city centre such as along the both banks of the iconic Han River, the entrances to the city.

As the 2024 Lunar New Year will usher in the Year of the Dragon, decorations should feature the image of this zodiacal animal, as well as highlight the city’s distinctive cultural values and the spiritual life of local residents.

Design solutions must be highly feasible, cost-effective, and convenient for the mobilisation of social resources for investment or so-called 'socialisation’.

The registration deadline for the contest is June 14, 2023.

The selection of the best ideas is expected to be carried out from June 20 - 30. The awards ceremony for the contest is slated for July 7, 2023.
