This year's contest recognized many "super electricity savers": grade 7 students in Dak Lak and their teachers creatively came up with a model of "electricity vice monitor" - a new title of the class to take turns controlling the use of electricity which is very unique; or the H'Mong boy Sung Mi Phin (born in 1994) in Ha Giang province who does not clearly understand the concept of reducing carbon emissions, but still volunteers to call upon people to install solar lights on roads from National Highway 4C, bringing electricity to the villages.

This year's contest also offers a lot of experience on safety in using electricity and how to handle equipment to reduce power consumption. Some entries including Regularly cleaning and periodically maintaining mechanical and electrical equipment; Automation and management of indoor lighting; Electrical equipment needing "periodic health checks"; Adding green areas, increasing coolness to reduce electricity bills for townhouses, etc. can be compiled into a very practical handbook on electricity safety and energy saving for every family.
