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.
