More than a month after its launch (March 28th), the "Heritage Through My Eyes" competition has received approximately 400 artworks from children aged 4-15, both domestically and internationally.

The artworks, created using various materials such as crayons, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, and colored paper, reflect a naive yet emotionally rich perspective on Vietnamese heritage.

With the theme "Heritage Through My Eyes," many artworks recreate images of historical architecture, folk festivals, nature, and traditional cultural life.

Each painting tells a unique story about love for one's homeland, national pride, and the younger generation's awareness of preserving and promoting cultural values.
