Reframing Vietnam

For 25 years, RMIT Vietnam has been part of Vietnam's incredible journey - a journey of learning, innovation, diversity and impact. On this milestone anniversary, we invite you to show the world a different Vietnam, seen through the lens of RMIT values.

We invite you to celebrate Vietnam's rich history, vibrant present and promising future through artistic expression. This competition offers a platform for the communities of RMIT to showcase their talents, share their stories, and connect with a global audience. By doing so, it fosters pride and a deeper understanding of Vietnamese cultural identity.

For international audiences, the project presents a fresh and dynamic perspective on Vietnam, highlighting its creativity, resilience and evolving spirit. Ultimately, we aim to spark meaningful dialogue and cultivate a deeper appreciation for Vietnam's unique cultural landscape.

We invite our students, alumni and staff to choose one of RMIT's values and create an original work. The work can be a story, artwork, video or another form of expression, that presents an inspiring vision of Vietnam in 2025. 

These values are at the heart of RMIT Vietnam and define who we are and what we stand for.

Share Vietnam as you truly experience it and help others see the country through the lens of your chosen RMIT value. Your perspective can offer fresh insights into Vietnam's evolving identity and inspire new ways of thinking about its present and future.

This competition is an open invitation to use creativity to reshape and reframe how Vietnam is perceived today. Participants are encouraged to celebrate Vietnam's rich heritage and dynamic future, sharing their vision with the world.

Participants are encouraged to express their perspectives through any medium and artistic discipline, ensuring that each submission is personal, authentic, and reflective of contemporary Vietnam. Whether through visual art, written narratives, or digital experimentation, contributors are free to explore the question: How should the world see Vietnam today?

The Reframing Vietnam Competition is about honest storytelling, ensuring that each submission adds a fresh, personal and unique voice to the conversation. For full information please refer to the brief.
