History

This prize was officially created in 1970 by the National Assembly of Vietnam of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The National Assembly Standing Committee reviewed the proposal of the Government Council. However, the Congress of emulation fighters began awarding it in 1952.

In 1999, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam reestablished the prize. The 2003 Law of Emulation again renewed it..[2][3]
