History

Essence Vietnam Cinema Association Awards is an internal awards in the award system of Literary Arts Association, which includes 7 associations: photography, architecture, cinema, music, theatre, literature, and art. In order to encourage the artists' works, every year, the government provides the funds to the associations to award them.

The Vietnam Cinema Association (VCA) has made awards since 1993 as a part of Vietnam Film Festival. In March 2003 on the 50th anniversary of the association's establishment (1953), VCA initiated the Golden Kite Prize, and combined with Vietnam Television station, broadcast the ceremony live with the support of the business through advertising. Since then, the Awards is held independently and usually called as Golden Kite Awards or Kite Awards. Along with Golden Kite, Silver Kite and Bronze Kite are also given, though some years they are removed.[3]
