HCM CITY — HCM City Television (HTV) will conduct a public poll beginning next Monday and closing on April 14 to choose the winners of this year's HTV Awards.

The awards will be given to performers who make contributions to HTV and to social activities in the city.

The audience will vote for the winner from a group of five or six people nominated by the HTV and a panel of journalists in nine categories, including music, theatre performance arts and TV series.

Five-minute video clips and 60-minute films of the nominees and audiences will be shown on HTV 7 every day and every Saturday until April 14 to help viewers choose their favourites.

The winner of each category will receive the HTV Cup and VND20 million (US$1,000) in prize money.

The awards ceremony, which will be held at the HTV Theatre on April 14, will be broadcast live on HTV7. — VNS
