Organisers said the competition was expected to attract some 30,000 candidates who were students from grades four to eight, with prizes worth VND50 billion (US$2.2 million).
With theme “Liberate your talents", the competition will cover different fields such as humanity, social sciences, natural sciences and arts. Students must use English to gain new knowledge of different subjects.

A total of 400 candidates will be chosen to participate in the second round, which will take place online on March 3 and 4. In this round, the candidates will answer English questions on Science and Math.
As many as 50 candidates will be chosen to the third round, which will be organised on March 18 to find the 10 best ones who will compete on speaking and giving talks in English. The five best will be chosen for the final round which will take place on April 1 to search for the most outstanding candidate.
