The “Proud of Green Saigon” Contest officially extends its submission deadline to June 15, 2026, encouraging individuals and organizations to continue contributing creative ideas and initiatives for a greener, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly Ho Chi Minh City.

In response to and in support of Directive No. 19-CT/TU issued by the Standing Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee regarding the campaign “Citizens of the City do not litter on streets and canals, for a cleaner city and reduced flooding”, the Ho Chi Minh City Environmental Sanitation Project – Phase 2 under the Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Project Management Unit of Ho Chi Minh City organizes the contest “Proud of Green Saigon” to encourage communities – especially young people – to propose creative ideas, green models, and practical solutions and products that contribute to protecting the urban environment. The contest aims to create a platform for connection and dissemination, where individuals, groups and organizations can share practical initiatives, thereby inspiring a greener, cleaner and more environmentally friendly Ho Chi Minh City. Outstanding models and products will be selected for exhibition at the “Proud of Green Saigon” Fair organized by the project during the Environmental Action Month, contributing to spreading the spirit of green living throughout the community.

Recently, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has issued technical guidance on the classification of household waste.
