Of the exhibited works, the council awards one first prize (to a Thai painter), two second prizes (one from Thailand and the other from Vietnam), three third prizes (to painters from the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam), and five consolation prizes.

The works reflect the landscapes and life in ASEAN countries, as well as highlight urgent and contemporary issues relevant to the bloc’s members.

The competition drew the participation of 345 entries of 182 painters from 10 ASEAN countries. It aims to enhance understanding and solidarity among ASEAN states and offers a chance for painters in the region to meet and share their achievements, and introduce their countries, people and cultures to others.

The exhibition will run at the Vincom Center for Contemporary Art at B1-R3, Royal City, 72 Nguyen Trai street, Thanh Xuan district, until November 25./.
