Vietnam comes first in online voting of “Army of Culture” contest

According to the regulation of the Organizing Committee, the voting took place on Youtube with the self-introduction clips and on the official website of the host Russia with the performances of the troupes.

Vietnamese "Army of Culture" contingent scoring 3.55 points, followed by Laos (3.06 points) and Russia (3.04 points)

On Youtube, at the time when the voting closed, the introduction clip of the Vietnamese Art Troupe took the lead with more than 150,000 views and 26,000 likes. However, on the official website of the host Russia, the Vietnamese troupe experienced upheavals. From the initial score of 4.19 points, which was the highest among participating troupes, at 11 a.m. on August 30, the score went down to only 3.43, causing the Vietnamese troupe to drop to the fourth place. Meanwhile, the scores of other art troupes increased rapidly.

However, after fluctuations, despite problems with the official website of the host Russia which caused difficulties for those voting from Vietnam, thanks to the enthusiastic support of the Vietnamese voters, by the end of August 30 (Russian time), the Vietnamese troupe regained the leading position. This score will be combined with the scores marked by the judges at the official art performances on August 29 and the final result will be announced later by the jury.

Tens of thousands of votes from all units and localities throughout the country were recorded, including those from islands, border and far-flung areas, showing their special interest in the “Army of Culture” contest. Accordingly, the system recorded a total of 38,854 votes when the voting was closed at 4 a.m. on August 31 (Vietnam time).
