Submissions will be pictorial descriptions of Vietnam or your hometown, clearly showing the expectations of change and development in the next 50 years.

You will research the prominent values of Vietnam or your hometown or a city in Vietnam that you love, then express your expectations about the change and development of those values in the next 50 years.

For example, HECTIC, BUSY are the words that we can use to describe Hanoi, but that is probably the same as many other big cities. So how would you describe Hanoi? How do you think Hanoi will change in the next 50 years? How do you want other people to feel about Hanoi? What is special about Hanoi in 2070?

Design a visual/identifying logo for Vietnam or your town in the next 50 years from the unique values you find. Make sure your design is easily identifiable using appropriate media. You should carefully consider the unique and interesting elements that represent Vietnam or your home city in the future.

For example: architecture, color, culture, decoration, history, nature, landscape, people, shape, sound, symbol, material, typography, etc.
