Organisers said the competition was expected to attract some 30,000 candidates who were students from grades four to eight, with prizes worth VNĐ50 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.
Candidates will take part in four rounds. The first round will be on February 3 and 4. Competitors will answer questions online within 45-60 minutes.

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.
