Thorough Preparations Underway for the First Lam Dong Television Singing Festival

On the afternoon of November 3, at the headquarters of Lam Dong Newspaper and Radio -Television, the Organizing Committee of the First Lam Dong Television Singing Festival 2026 held a meeting to review implementation progress and identify key tasks ahead of the preliminary round and subsequent stages of the competition.

The meeting was chaired by Le Huy Toan, Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of Lam Dong Newspaper and Radio - Television, and Head of the Festival Organizing Committee. Attendees included leaders of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism; members of the leadership boards and representatives of specialized divisions from the department and the media agency; members of the judging panel; and representatives of relevant organizations.

Final Preparations for the Preliminary Round

According to the meeting report, following the implementation of the organizational plan and the establishment of the Organizing Committee and its supporting subcommittees, preparations have been carried out across multiple areas, including professional operations, communications, finance, sponsorship and logistics. Relevant teams have actively coordinated their efforts and gradually completed the necessary arrangements for the competition.

As of October 31, the Organizing Committee had received 168 eligible contestant applications. The professional team had reviewed and compiled the applications, classified contestants by area, and contacted them to provide guidance on supplementing information, registering their song choices and preparing their performances. Information has also been exchanged with contestants through a shared Zalo group.

In terms of communications, Lam Dong Newspaper and Radio -Television has developed a plan to provide coverage before, during and after the festival across its various media platforms and digital channels. A dedicated fan page has been established, while the festival's visual identity, promotional images and communication materials are being developed. The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has also issued a document requesting agencies, organizations and local authorities to coordinate communications efforts and encourage contestants to participate.

Meanwhile, the subcommittees are continuing to review venues, equipment, stages, sound and lighting systems, reception areas and other facilities required to serve contestants and the judging panel. Sponsorship efforts and the mobilization of social resources are also underway to secure funding for the competition rounds.

According to the plan, the preliminary round is scheduled for November 14 and 15 at the Phu Thuy Television Theatre and the auditorium of Lam Dong Newspaper and Radio -Television in central Da Lat. The subcommittees are therefore required to finalize contestant lists, competition schedules, performance order, operational scripts and technical plans for each venue. The Organizing Committee will also finalize the composition of the judging panel and the procedures for scoring, compiling and confirming results to ensure objectivity and transparency.

At the meeting, members of the Organizing Committee exchanged views and offered recommendations on communications, venue arrangements, competition organization and contingency plans for potential issues. Particular priority was given to thoroughly inspecting the venues, checking stage conditions and sound and lighting systems, and organizing contestant movement and access.

In his concluding remarks, Le Huy Toan, Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of Lam Dong Newspaper and Radio -Television, acknowledged the efforts made by the subcommittees in recent weeks. However, he urged all teams to remain vigilant, proactively anticipate potential challenges and prepare appropriate response plans from the preliminary round onward.

The head of the Organizing Committee asked the professional and communications subcommittees to consider staging the semifinal round on an outdoor stage to make the event more appealing and create a larger, more engaging performance space for audiences. Performances at each stage should be carefully planned and given adequate resources to ensure artistic quality and program appeal.

Particular attention must be given to preparations for the final round, covering everything from the script and stage design to performance content and the composition of the judging panel. The Organizing Committee is expected to invite two highly reputable judges with strong professional credentials to assess the final-night performances, thereby enhancing the festival's quality and standing.

Le Huy Toan also instructed each subcommittee to clearly define its responsibilities, designate coordinators and set deadlines for completing individual tasks. Progress must be regularly updated, with any emerging issues promptly reported for resolution. These efforts are intended to ensure that the First Lam Dong Television Singing Festival 2026 is organized with thorough preparation and professionalism, providing a meaningful artistic platform and helping promote cultural and artistic activities throughout the community.

Nam A Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Nam A Bank) is accompanying the festival, which carries the theme “LTV – A Meeting Place for Musical Talent.”
