The visually impaired contestants need help to get on stage. The young deaf dancers have to look towards the stage, where there is a person guiding the movements, because they cannot hear the music. However, they are really immersed in their work. Although they cannot hear or see, they feel the emotions from their hearts.

As one of the four judges of the competition, artist Le Tu emotionally said: "It's difficult for me to learn to play and sing, let alone those with disabilities.

You come to art with passion, will, and good acting. In a competition, there are winners and losers. If I had the power, I would give you all first prize."

To support the contestants, artist Le Tu used his own money to award 4 more prizes. Including 3 dance prizes and 1 traditional singing prize.

He shared: "I send you a small gift to encourage you. I hope to organize more competitions and playgrounds for the disabled and the unfortunate. I hope that philanthropists and everyone will pay more attention and support you."
