I believe that this contest will inspire people of two countries to continue sharing hands to build a solid South Korea-Vietnam relationship to win Covid-19", he added.
Each contestant is allowed to submit one work via an online platform between June 11, 2021 and July 15, 2021.
Participants are encouraged to make a video of their creative process, which could earn them an extra score.
All excellent works will be selected for exhibition and awarded in August 2021 at the Korean Cultural Center, 49 Nguyen Du, Hanoi.
