Award ceremony for the painting contest "Independence Palace - Colors of Heritage"

On April 19th, at the Reunification Hall (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), the closing ceremony and awards presentation for the children's painting competition with the theme "Independence Palace - Colors of Heritage" took place, aiming to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Southern Vietnam and the reunification of the country (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025).

The children participated in the competition and took photos with their artwork.

The competition, launched by the Reunification Hall in March 2025, aims to create a healthy playground for children to express their emotions, understanding, and love for their homeland through painting. Children are encouraged to recreate images of the Independence Palace on April 30, 1975, its current architectural beauty, and the dreams embedded within this heritage space.

The organizers divided the competition into two categories: Category A for students in grades 1, 2, and 3; Category B for students in grades 4 and 5. Entries could be submitted freely, either drawn in class, at home, or after visiting the Independence Palace and Reunification Hall historical sites.

The organizers awarded two first prizes to contestants in Group A and Group B.

Huynh Phuc Huy won first prize in Category A for his family photo and artwork.

At the awards ceremony, the Organizing Committee honored 40 individual awards and 3 group awards to units with many high-quality paintings. The winning works will be displayed at the Reunification Hall from April 19th to May 5th, 2025, for visitors and students from participating schools.
