Awarded individuals and groups in each category of the competition are listed as follows:
Individual Prizes:
- First Prize: Nguyen Phuc Minh Thuy
The submission is a story about the thought of two fishes living distantly in the ocean - Anny and Tony.. The conversation of the two fish reflected partially severe consequences from human littering actions to the ocean. Those actions do not only contaminate the ecosystem but affect our lives as well. Therefore, these two fishes would like to send us a message on raising our awareness as well as taking true actions to protect the ocean environment.
- Second Prize: Tran Trieu Vy
The submission is a story about the journey of plastic bottles from their manufacture to recycling to newerand more useful products for human lives (pencil cases, decorators and so on) but are not rubbish polluting anymore.
- Third Prize: Le Thi Mai Huong
The submission is about the talk of “Hoang tu nhua” (The Plastic Prince) with his mother’s advice that: after accomplishing human-serving missions, he would be regenerated and live in a new shape. However, the fact is hostile and contrary to his mother’s previous advice, “The Plastic Prince” has to share a similar fate with other brothers: being a waste, a useless object in the spacious ocean. As a result, “The Plastic Prince”, on behalf of the rubbish brothers, sends to humans a message: Let’s join hands to protect the environment, our lovely Earth, and recycle the rubbish so as not to make them as “bad guys” in human eyes anymore.
