During the Final Round, the teams presented the results of their project implementation and the initial impacts their initiatives had created for communities.

The initiatives ranged from “SafeHer,” which aims to raise women’s awareness of online safety, and “TriCOPbutCOOLER,” a summer camp model combining environmental education with skills development, to “Cham thuc,” a sexuality education program for children with disabilities. Each initiative reflected the teams’ serious commitment and the distinct perspectives of young people in addressing community issues.

 In addition to presenting their achievements, the teams also answered questions from the Judging Panel, further demonstrating the feasibility, effectiveness, and potential for future development of their projects.

Based on criteria including implementation effectiveness, practical value, sustainability, presentation skills, and the teams’ ability to respond to questions and defend their ideas, the Judging Panel announced the final results of FIPAD Innovation Contest 2026:

• First Prize: Hearts-to-Hearts - “Cham thuc” Project
• Second Prize: Glass Shield - “SafeHer” Project

• Third Prize: COP to the Future - “TriCOPbutCOOLER” Project

 As the FIPAD Innovation Contest 2026 came to a close, each project represented more than an innovative idea. They also reflected young people’s willingness to take action in response to issues facing their communities. VSF hopes that the initiatives nurtured through the competition will continue to grow, spread positive values, and create lasting impact in the future.
