Themed “green initiatives”, the contest encourages students to analyse the surrounding environmental and climate challenges as well as share their initiatives to protect the environment and natural resources.
At the launch ceremony, Danish Ambassador Nicolai Prytz expressed his hope that the event will be a venue for Vietnamese students to express their bold and inspiring ideas to turn the Earth into a green and livable home for everyone.
The contest is open for primary and secondary students. Entrants should send their entries to the Danish Embassy in BIDV Tower, No.194 Tran Quang Khai Street, Hoan Kiem District no later than December 20.
Winners of the contest will be announced and awarded at a ceremony held in the end of the 2024-2025 academic year.
The first competition took place in 2016 during the celebration of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the Viet Nam- Denmark diplomatic relations. It has since then been organised on an annual basis – with a new theme each year and always with a strong focus on the environment and the green agenda.
The last event called “Green Future” received more than 21,500 paintings and artworks from 256 schools and clubs in 42 provinces and cities across the nation./.
