Sharing about the meaning of the contest, Mr. Nguyen Manh Huy stated: Firstly, this is a useful, practical and meaningful playground that helps children unleash their creativity, improve their aesthetic sense and focus on the beauty of life. Secondly, through the language of painting, children have the opportunity to express their thoughts, wishes and aspirations for a clean living environment, in harmony with nature, which is the voice and right to participate of children. Thirdly, with the theme of the contest "Green House", the Organizing Committee and the children aim to raise awareness and join hands to protect the living environment, preserve a clean and beautiful living space, towards a new concept - "Green space of culture". That is also the reason why in this year's contest, the Organizing Committee chose the location of Nam O green land in Da Nang - an ancient fishing village with a history of more than 700 years as a suggestion for the children's contest.
The theme of this year's competition is "Green House" which can be understood as a green living space, saving energy, using suitable construction materials, applying reasonable technology, green utilities, and being environmentally friendly.
The "Dream House" Painting Contest - 2024 continues to be accompanied by Teacher - Painter Huu Hanh and Miss Vietnam - Ngoc Han; at the same time, the Advisory Board has the participation of Painter Van Duong Thanh. In particular, it is impossible not to mention the support of sponsors and accompanying units so that the contest can take place, spreading the meaning of the community joining hands to promote children's rights.
