In the past few days, the 2021 Color Festival Painting Competition was jointly organized by Thien Long Group and Colokit Art Tool in conjunction with the Central Team Council. Thousands of children, including international child painters living in Vietnam, also enthusiastically submitted their paintings, expressing their belief in defeating the epidemic and thus contributed to the vaccine fund.

Here are their messages.

Lee Yun Woo, 12 years old, lives with his mother in Da Nang because his father is currently in South Korea and cannot return to his family due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Lee Yun Woo used his brushstrokes to recreate the image of the doctors at Hoan My Hospital, where he used to go for treatment, in the painting "Unite to fight against Covid-19". He shared: "Through the picture, I want to convey a message to the hospital and doctors that medical staff in other places will always unite to defeat the epidemic."

In addition to smart color information, this is also one of the values Colokit hopes to share with children all over the world.

The Color Festival is a drawing competition with many prizes and interesting topics, so many children have participated in the competition for many years, including Nguyen Thuy An (grade 8) and Nguyen The Vinh (grade 6) who have participated in the competition "Color Festival 2020" with the theme of Children with Uncle Ho - Uncle Ho with children. Coming to this year's painting contest, Thuy An's painting: "Removing the blockade", recorded the image of her neighborhood. She shared: “This neighborhood was blocked not long ago, people were extremely worried. I hope that everywhere will be freed from the blockade so that everyone can return to a peaceful life as before.

Nguyen The Vinh (Grade 6) with his picture: "The ship that defeated Covid" hopes that "the ship carrying frontline doctors will win the epidemic to protect the country. The doctor wears angel wings to protect all Covid patients. In the loving and protective arms of doctors, Vietnam, as well as the whole earth, will be healthy."

“Unity and love” is also the main message in the painting: Do Thu Ha (2nd grade)'s "Love Connection", the image of a 0 VND shop. She said that this is the impressive picture she saw on the road when her mother was taken to her grandparents' house. “I think everyone who loves each other and works together will fight against the Covid", Thu Ha said.

The children's wish is also the humanistic concept of the "Festival of Color" contest with the theme of "Believe in Vietnam" in 2021. They will donate 2000 VND to the government's COVID-19 Prevention and Control Fund. Each weekly winner will receive a prize, including a congratulatory letter from the organizing committee and a set of Colokit-Thien Long Group art products worth 500,000 VND.
