Sketching contest for university students held in Hanoi
Hundreds of students that study art and architecture majors have attended a sketching contest held at Hanoi Temple of Literature.
The contest will last from December 3 to 31. Students studying art and architecture can participate including those from the National University of Civil Engineering, Hanoi University of Architecture, Vietnam University of Fine Arts and Hanoi Open University. All participants will sketch about the temple's architecture, items or scenery.
Hanoi is currently one of 246 cities in the world participating in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. The contest is also one of the activities to realise the city's commitments to the network and to encourage young people to understand more about the temple.
Outstanding works will be displayed and honoured in mid-January 2021. The first-place winner will be awarded VND10m. There will be two co-winners for second place, three co-winners for third place and five consolation prizes.
The representative of UNESCO Hanoi praised the contest as it is an interesting way to boost creative education and a playground for students to show their talents.
Tran Hau Yen The, art advisor of the contest, said, "I hope the contest and the artworks will be an inspiration for visitors. I believe that the students will not only be able to recreate the architecture on paper, they can also express their emotions and thinking there."
