The best 500 drawings will be displayed publicly on October 8, 2017, as part of an exhibition and auction to raise funds to support Vietnamese children who live in the remote mountainous regions of the country.

Thai Le Hang, head of the executive committee overseeing the competition, says the contest provides an opportunity for students and teachers to see the high standard of art produced in today’s schools.

It helps kids gain an understanding of what is required to achieve excellence. It is also a terrific opportunity for members of the public to see the high quality of art being created in Vietnamese schools.

More than 90 awards and prizes valued at US$26,000 will be presented to the top drawings.
