Speaking at the awards ceremony, the Danish Ambassador to Vietnam, Mr. Nicolai Prytz, said: "Young people play a crucial role in building society and promoting positive change. The competition is not only a playground but also a testament to the creativity and responsibility of Vietnamese youth in creating a green and sustainable future. Through the competition, Vietnamese youth have another forum to express their perspectives on the country's green transition."

According to Mr. Le Ngoc Tuan, Deputy Director of the Climate Change Department ( Ministry of Agriculture and Environment ) and Vice President of the Vietnam-Denmark Friendship Association, since its first edition in 2016, the competition has always received active participation from students. Through their innocent and imaginative drawings, the children have demonstrated a deep understanding of global challenges such as climate change and environmental pollution, and more importantly, a belief in positive actions for a green planet.
