Speaking at the event, Ta Quang Dong, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, emphasized that the contest and exhibition enabled children to express their emotions, views, and life experiences through innocent expressions by conveying meaningful messages.

He added each painting is a story written by their true emotions, helping evoke warmth, humanity, and children's love for their families, teachers, friends, school, homeland, and the universe.

The National Children's Painting Contest and Exhibition is an annual event that attracts the participation of many young artists. Children can unleash their creativity, imagination, and artistic skills through the contest and exhibitions while experiencing new things.
