The 2026 Children's Painting Contest attracted 678 artworks by children aged 6 to 15, including 355 works by primary school students and 323 by lower secondary school students. The works covered a wide range of themes, from love for the homeland, the country and its seas and islands; images of Uncle Ho and national heroes; to family, teachers, friends, the environment and innocent moments in study, daily life and play. In particular, many works portrayed the beauty of the people, culture and homeland of Thai Nguyen through children's pure and emotionally rich perspectives.
