This year, the Award recorded 193 submitted projects, 11 more than in 2023. Some schools with a tradition continue to send a large number of projects to the Award, typically Hanoi University of Architecture, Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering...

Dr. Phan Dang Son, Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Architects, delivered a speech summarizing the Award.

However, some universities that won high prizes in previous years did not send many entries this year, or even had no entries at all. This reflects the difficulty of the schools in recruiting and training, or perhaps due to the limitations of the attractiveness of the Prize.

The projects in the technical, construction and construction economics categories generally have the same quality as in previous years. The number of projects in the architectural and planning categories has increased, accounting for nearly 70% of the total entries to the award, with topics of quite diverse genres, but mainly focusing on public works.
