The 2026 Dedication Awards ceremony, held on the evening of April 15th in Hanoi, concluded with Soobin Hoang Son taking center stage. The male singer continued to make history by winning a hat-trick of awards for the second consecutive year, becoming the first artist to achieve this in the 20-year history of the Dedication Awards.
Having been nominated for three major awards: All-Rounder Program of the Year, Music Video of the Year (Mục hạ vô nhân), and Male Artist of the Year, Soobin not only affirmed his strong influence over the past year but also demonstrated rare consistency in his creative and performance style, maintaining both his mass appeal and the quality of his products and stage performances. Soobin's big win is quite convincing, as he had an outstanding year in both his output and stage performances.
After rigorous rounds of voting from experts and the public, the results of the 2026 Dedication Awards have been officially revealed, with overwhelming victories going to the most influential figures.
Singer Soobin Hoang Son beamed on stage at the awards ceremony after being named the winner in the "Male Singer of the Year" category.
In the Female Singer of the Year category, Hoa Minzy was the winner. The Songwriter of the Year award went to Nguyen Van Chung. Other important awards such as Series of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year… continued to recognize well-produced products with widespread market appeal.
This year's results weren't too surprising, with most wins going to established artists. Mainstream artists remained dominant, while indie and experimental artists – despite being nominated – failed to make a breakthrough in the final results.

After 20 years of organization, the Dedication Awards, organized by the Sports and Culture newspaper with two award systems – the Dedication Music Awards and the Dedication Sports Awards – have always been a prestigious award, with results established through nominations and voting by the press and the public. In particular, the sports category continues to help the Dedication Awards maintain its unique identity compared to purely entertainment awards.
