The exhibition featured 299 paintings selected from 20,238 entries in a painting contest launched for children across the country.

The paintings on display show children’s love for their parents, relatives, friends and home land, as well as their wish for a brighter future.

The jury board presented prizes to the 70 best paintings, including 10 gold medals, 15 silvers, 20 bronzes and 25 consolation prizes.

This was part of an annual programme of children’s painting co-organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.
