The Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports in collaboration with the City Union of Friendship Organizations organized the International Children's Painting Competition with the theme "I love Hanoi - City for Peace " in 2025.
This is an activity to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025) and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025), and to celebrate the 26th anniversary of Hanoi being recognized by UNESCO as a "City for Peace."
The event is a cultural activity with profound educational significance, demonstrating the concern of the Party, State and President Ho Chi Minh for the young generation and children - the green buds of the country.
The contest is not only a healthy artistic playground for Vietnamese and international children living in the capital, but also a creative forum to inspire patriotism, the desire for peace, awareness of environmental protection and building a humane and sustainable world.
According to the Organizing Committee, this year's contest continues to accept entries from children aged 6-15 with content expressing love for Hanoi, homeland, dream of peace, opposition to war, poverty, promoting the beauty of nature and friendly, humane Vietnamese people.
Works by Vietnamese contestants can be submitted directly to the Hanoi Cultural Center and Library (Ha Dong and Ba Trieu campuses).
International candidates send to Hanoi Union of Friendship Organizations. Time for submission is from August 15 to September 10.
The closing and award ceremony is expected to take place on September 20 at the Octagonal House Space (Le Thach-Le Lai Street) with an exhibition displaying the best works.
The Organizing Committee will award 91 prizes with a total value of 126 million VND, including 1 First prize, 10 Second prizes, 20 Third prizes, 30 Encouragement prizes, 10 Special prizes and 20 secondary prizes.
Over the years, the contest has attracted the attention and positive response from students of primary and secondary schools, art clubs, international schools and many children from many countries studying and living in Hanoi.
Through each season, many young painting talents have been discovered and nurtured with works of bright colors, creative compositions, expressing innocent yet profound emotions about love for Hanoi, national pride, awareness of environmental protection and the desire to live in a peaceful world.
Not only does it have artistic value, the contest is also a bridge for cultural exchange between Vietnamese children and international friends, contributing to strengthening friendship and promoting understanding between nations.
Through simple but emotional "artistic messages", the image of Hanoi - the city of a thousand years of culture, the city of peace and creativity continues to be widely promoted to friends around the world.
In 2025, the contest is expected to continue to contribute to arousing patriotism, nurturing aesthetic capacity and inspiring the young generation on their journey to becoming global citizens who love peace, respect human values and are ready to contribute to building the Capital and the country to become increasingly prosperous and happy./.
