The first student music festival was launched at the Hanoi University of Culture by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee and MobiFone in Hanoi on November 30.

This is a playground for Vietnam students and pupils both at home and abroad. Each organisation and individual will send their work, which lasts a maximum of 7 minutes, on the themes of homeland, country, school and the aspirations of youth.

Seventeen outstanding works will be chosen from the qualifying rounds through SMS and the website www.lienhoanamnhac.com and then enter the final round, which will be held in March 2009. The winner will receive VND20 million.
