VietSoul 3 Children's Art Competition 2026
Theme: My Wonderful Encounters / Gặp Gỡ Để Yêu Thương
Share Your World Through Art
Children are invited to express their world through art by sharing meaningful encounters that have shaped their lives. These may include family members, friends, teachers, neighbours, or special cultural experiences. The competition encourages children to reflect on connection, kindness, belonging, and culture identity while growing up in Australia and staying connected to Vietnamese heritage.
This program is part of VietSoul 3 Festival – a community event celebrating Vietnamese culture and heritage, supported by the Australia Government.
“Every beautiful encounter leaves a mark on our hearts”
