As the ambassador of the contest, singer Ha Anh Tuan said that he was very surprised by the works sent in by cancer patients and disadvantaged children. "At the age when they should be eating, studying, and playing, they have to endure both physical and mental pain. I think we should listen, love, and change ourselves for the strong vitality of these children," Ha Anh Tuan shared.
"Every child wants to be listened to, to express their talents, interests and to tell their stories. This is especially true for girls and boys with cancer and other serious illnesses... especially during the days when the whole society is struggling to fight the Covid-19 pandemic" - Mr. Minh Nhan, the founder of the contest shared. "Inside their sick and painful bodies are sensitive, optimistic souls, with many dreams and ambitions, always urging us to overcome and move forward together. Let's listen, sympathize and accompany them. That is the spirit and mission of the program "For a Winning Vietnam".
The work won first prize in the Painting category by Nguyen Hong Anh (15 years old, Ha Tinh, orphan). The work is titled "Consciousness is the main thing, positivity is gone".

Remember the days we
Walking under the trees
How can I forget?

How long is the memory?
Uncle Drum is sad... waiting
Little darlings
