THE PRIZES
Đèn Cầy
Vy Voi CERAMICS
Vy Voi focuses on porcelain wares with a human touch. Made in New York, all pieces are thrown, trimmed, and glazed by hand with care, celebrating the carefree, unpredictable nature of organic materials. Rooted in honesty and curiosity, Vy Voi came about as a means to further explore design and Vietnam's rich ceramics heritage. The name comes from an enduring childhood nickname that fuses “Vy” (Steffany's Vietnamese name) and “con voi” (the Vietnamese word for elephant used to describe her remarkable appetite) together affectionately.

Sáng CANDLE CO
Tram Phan’s story with Sáng begins in Bến Tre, Vietnam. She was born and raised there until the age of eight before my family and she immigrated to the United States. Her connection to her first home never faded and, impassioned by the beauty and richness of my culture, she decided to capture the essence of my upbringing to share a piece of my home with the world.
Sáng’s, bright in Vietnamese, blends are carefully crafted, made with natural and toxin-free ingredients, and pull inspiration from all things Vietnamese. From cooking spices to healing herbs, the fragrances were designed to bring a piece of Vietnam into any space.
Minh Singer CERAMICS
Minh Singer is a visual artist based in Brooklyn and a graduate from Pratt Institute. Working primarily in ceramics, she synthesizes realms of civilizations long gone, the center of the earth, natural phenomena, the cosmos, and the very present moment into timeless art objects. Minh has a background in fashion and art education. She enjoys swimming, taking it slow, and talking about feelings.
Each piece is sensitively hand-formed and luminously glazed. Variation is to be expected - mindful of our humanity and beautiful imperfections.

Sông Cái
DISTILLERY
Founded in 2018 in Hà Nội by Daniel Nguyễn, Sông Cái Distillery is Việt Nam’s first gin distillery. Their inaugural release, Sông Cái Việt Nam Dry Gin, is the first gin ever distilled in Việt Nam — using 16 wild hand-foraged botanicals, fruits, flowers, and wood unique to Việt Nam’s Highlands.
Their gin is handcrafted in small batches in a direct fired copper still, resulting in a bold, complex, and particularly rounded flavor. Their botanicals are rare — and their work is environmentally, socially, and culturally sustainable and enriching.
