The Viet Nam Cultural Heritage Association and the Viet Nam University of Fine Arts have launched a painting contest entitled ‘Vietnamese cultural heritage through paintings’.

The competition aims to create an opportunity for artists at both home and abroad to learn more about Vietnamese cultural heritage and inspire them to create paintings contributing to the protection, preservation and promotion of heritage among young people.

The entries can be paintings on canvas and silk and graphic paintings, depicting values of tangible and intangible cultural heritage and landscapes across the country.

Entrants can send multiple entries to the contest via email dsvhvnquahoihoa@gmail.com by September 30.

Artists whose works are selected for the final round will receive a notice from the organisers requesting to send their works by post to the office of the Viet Nam Cultural Heritage Association at 19 Ngoc Ha Street, Ba Dinh, Ha Noi.

The awards ceremony is expected to be held on November to mark Viet Nam Cultural Heritage Day.
