VTV Awards


The VTV Awards is an awards ceremony presented by Vietnam Television to honour the most notable television productions aired on its network. It was launched in 2014 and is usually held in early September each year until 2021, when the date was moved to January 1 the following year. From 2026, through its official Facebook fanpage, the producers announced the temporary suspension of the show's next awards ceremony due to a lack of explanation.
