There is also a film based on the book, “Don’t burn”, which has won several prizes at both domestic and international film festivals.
The contest is co-organised by the External Relations Commission of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP), the Laos- Vietnam Friendship Association (VLFA), the Lao Ministry of Information and Culture, Lao People’s Revolutionary Youth Union (LPRYU) and Vietnam Cultural Center in Laos .
