During 4 days (from August 1 to 4), the competition took place with the participation of nearly 1,000 artisans and actors from 24 provinces and cities across the country. Localities performed unique traditional cultural values through the performance of folk songs, folk dances and national costumes; performance of traditional rituals; and performance of culinary arts.

Evaluating the contest, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Huy - Director of the Department of Grassroots Culture said: "The contest has met the requirements of scale, artistic quality and effectiveness in propagating, introducing and promoting the tangible cultural values, customs, traditional festivals, folk songs and dances, costumes and cuisine of ethnic groups across the country. The contest has the participation of young faces, performing with older artisans. This is a good and encouraging thing because today's young generation has a passion, creativity and love for traditional cultural heritage. With passion, enthusiasm and dedication, older artisans have taught the younger generation to continue to preserve and promote the intangible cultural heritage values left by their ancestors."

After this contest, to continue to propagate, introduce and promote intangible cultural heritages, customs, traditional festivals, folk songs, folk dances and cuisine of ethnic groups, Mr. Huy hopes that artisans, artists and actors of the units will continue to promote the role of cultural soldiers to preserve and spread unique and distinctive cultural values.
