The Gala Awards Night gathered more than 200 models, singers, and child dancers, with the participation of Media Ambassador - actress Thu Quynh, Talent Ambassador - child singer Duong Duc Hai and many other famous designers and artists.

Thanks to the support of designer Yen Ngo, founder of the fashion brand beAnn, during the Gala night, the designs on the drawings of the 24 best finalists were realized into extremely unique costumes to perform on stage. Each costume is a separate story, bearing the personal mark of the "child designers" from 6 to 15 years old.

The most prominent of these were the designs of stylized evening gowns, inspired by lotus flowers, traditional musical instruments and traditional costumes of Vietnam’s ethnic minorities. All of them left the audience in awe of the boundless creativity of the young contestants.

The “young designers” came from many provinces and cities across the country, including those who traveled hundreds of kilometers from the central and southern regions to Hanoi to attend the final round with their families and teachers. The moment the “future designers” held the models’ hands and confidently walked on the catwalk, blending with the music , was an extremely special and unforgettable experience in their childhood journey.

In particular, after the final night, all 24 costumes will be auctioned, all proceeds will be donated to the project "Library of Dreams" initiated by the Young Pioneers and Children Newspaper, contributing to spreading the spirit of sharing and nurturing dreams to many disadvantaged children across the country.

In addition to the performances from the award-winning works, the Gala night also impressed with three other outstanding collections such as “La Passion de beAnn by Yen Ngo” (designed by Yen Ngo and the beAnn brand), “The Blooming” by designer Duc Luong.

After the sublime performances, the moment of announcing the awards was the most anticipated highlight. The two prestigious Special Prizes of the competition went to Nguyen Thi Thanh Thao (class 3E1, Archimedes Academy Primary School, Hanoi ) and Nguyen Le Thuy Linh (class 6A3, Mao Khe II Secondary School, Quang Ninh).

The Organizing Committee awarded First, Second, Third, and Encouragement prizes, along with many secondary prizes such as “Promising”, “Impressive Design”, “Environmentally Friendly Design” and “Wings of Dreams” for outstanding ideas that convey positive, creative, and unique messages.

Sharing at the Award Ceremony, the young and brave Champion Nguyen Thi Thanh Thao expressed: “When I was able to walk on stage, with the dress I designed myself, my feeling was really special. Seeing my idea become a real-life outfit, worn by the model and shining, I was extremely proud and moved”. Meanwhile, Champion Nguyen Le Thuy Linh impressed with her deep thoughts and passion for fashion: “For me, fashion is not just clothes but also a way for me to tell my own story. Each drawing, each outfit is where I send my emotions and the colorful world that I want to share with everyone”.

Representatives of the Organizing Committee include actress Thu Quynh, journalist Bui Viet Cuong, and designer Yen Ngo.

As the founder of the playground and the direct companion inspiring the contestants throughout the journey of the competition, designer Yen Ngo said: “We want to create a playground where all children across the country, including those in remote areas or those with difficult circumstances, especially health conditions… have the opportunity to realize their design ideas on a professional stage. This is the Final night where the children really shine. The children today have shown me a generation of talented and passionate future designers.”

Although it was only the first year of organization, designer Yen Ngo and Thieu Nien Tien Phong and Nhi Dong Newspapers have shown the role of pioneers in creating an artistic playground with high practicality and application, helping children have a passion for design, understand and experience the role of a real fashion designer.
