The Gold Plus went to People’s Artist Le Ngoc with the “Co doi thuong ngan” (Goddess of Forest) performance while the two gold awards were presented to Meritorious Artists Nguyen Van Hai and Pham Thi Hong for “Beo dat may troi” (When Earth and Sky Unite) folk song performance.

The two performances featured Vietnam’s cultural heritage recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) - the Vietnamese beliefs in the Mother Goddesses of Three Realms and the Quan Ho Bac Ninh folk songs.
