On September 29, the annual Denmark in Your Eyes 2023 painting competition was officially launched at Nguyen Sieu school (Hanoi), welcoming representatives of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations, Vietnam Denmark Friendship Association, the Ministry of Education and Training and the Embassy of Denmark and hundreds of teachers and students from local primary and secondary schools in Hanoi and other neighboring provinces.
Under the theme ‘Green Future’, this painting competition is part of the celebration of the 10th year anniversary of signing the Comprehensive Partnership Agreement between Vietnam and Denmark, a major milestone, which elevated our bilateral relationship from traditional development cooperation to a full-fledged partnership encompassing political dialogue, green growth, energy, trade and investment and culture.
The competition is open to all Vietnamese students, from both primary and secondary schools. The deadline for submission is November 30th 2023. Winners will be announced and awarded at a ceremony at the end of the school year 2023 – 2024 in Hanoi.
At the launching ceremony, Ambassador of Denmark to Vietnam Nicolai Prytz said: "I am both honored and excited to attend the launching of the Denmark in Your Eyes painting competition, which in my opinion, has added a lot of values to the strengthening of our two countries’ long term cooperation on promoting green and sustainable development. I am also very impressed with the number of more than 18,000 paintings submitted in the last competition, which shows the high popularity of the competition among schoolchildren all over Vietnam".
The Ambassador believed that the competition is an amazing playground for Vietnamese children, not only to express wishes about their future, but more importantly to come up with creative ideas about how we can together create a green future and make our planet a prosperous and sustainable home for the well-being of all.
In this competition, schoolchildren are encouraged to unfold and develop their imagination through creativity and bring their dreams of a Green Future onto papers on various themes, such as environment protection, biodiversity, energy efficiency, green energy, reduction of CO2 emissions, waste management, climate change, etc.
The jury board of the competition will consist of prestigious painters from Kim Dong Publishing House and Thieu Nien Tien Phong and Nhi Dong newspaper and representatives from the Danish embassy and the Vietnam Denmark Friendship Association.
