The preliminary round of the contest took place from April 17 to May 25 with four types of questions for each type of student. During the period, the Organising Committee received 4,964 entries from 59 school units across the province, including 4,950 in written form and 14 in videos.

The committee has selected 116 entries for judging. Through evaluation, the contest has received the attention and response of students, with many entries showing good content and creativity in form.

From now until July 15, the Organising Committee will complete judging and award prizes to 42 winning entries in the preliminary round. It will select six first prize winners for the national final round of the 2024 Reading Culture Ambassador contest.
