Awarding ceremony of Ho Chi Minh City children's painting contest with Uncle Ton

Ton Duc Thang Museum (HCMC) has just held a closing ceremony and awarded prizes for the 19th-2025 "Children of Ho Chi Minh City with Uncle Ton" painting contest.

The contest is an annual activity organized by the Museum to celebrate the 137th birthday of President Ton Duc Thang (August 20, 1888 - August 20, 2025), thereby educating the young generation about patriotism.

The organizers awarded prizes to the children.

After more than a month of launching, this year's contest has attracted the enthusiastic participation of more than 600 students from 43 schools and drawing classes in the city. This is the result of the coordination between Ton Duc Thang Museum, City Children's House and Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training.

A new point of this year’s competition is the expansion, encouraging children to use a variety of materials such as pigments, oil paints, acrylics… instead of just being limited to familiar materials. This change has helped improve the artistic quality of the works, while creating a richer, more attractive playground for children to show their talents.

The organizers awarded prizes to the children.

At the ceremony, the organizing committee summarized and awarded the best works. In the end, there were 4 special prizes, 8 first prizes, 18 second prizes, 28 third prizes and 34 consolation prizes awarded to individuals and groups with quality entries.

Also on this occasion, Ton Duc Thang Museum officially opened an exhibition displaying the winning works of the contest. The exhibition will run from now until August 31 at the museum. The public can also enjoy the works online through the website www.baotangtonducthang.vn. The contest is not only a useful summer activity but also an opportunity for children in the city to learn more about the life and career of President Ton Duc Thang, thereby contributing to fostering love for their homeland and country.
