A painting contest themed “Viet Nam today in children’s eyes” for students at more than 50 schools across Hungary is being held in order to introduce Viet Nam to young Hungarian people, VOV reported.
The event is taking place as part of a series of activities to mark the 20th anniversary of the Viet Nam Women’s Union in Hungary, the 70th anniversary of the resounding Dien Bien Phu Victory over French colonialism, and 49 years since South Liberation and National Reunification Day.
The organizers hope that participating students will understand more about the country and people of Viet Nam today, which are not only beautiful, rich in tradition and national identity, but also modern, diverse and expressed through the lens of the eyes of Hungarian students.
So far, the contest has received a total of 364 entries from Hungarian students, as well as foreign and overseas Vietnamese students who are living and studying in the European country.
The competition's jury consists of Mészáros László - Hungarian painter and graphic designer; Molinaro, Molnár Péter - Hungarian painter and graphic design artist; Counselor Le Trong Ha, Deputy Ambassador, Head of Community Affairs Board of the Vietnamese Embassy in Hungary; and Dr. Phan Bich Thien - Head of the Vietnamese Women's Union in Hungary, Chairman of the Forum of Vietnamese Women's Union in Europe.
The best works will be selected by the jury for a display at the awards ceremony to take place in Budapest on May 25.
The success of the contest with vivid, colorful pictures of the country and people of Viet Nam through the drawings of Hungarian students is also a meaningful gift to commemorate President Ho Chi Minh on the occasion of his 134th birth anniversary.
