At the ceremony, the Organizing Committee awarded 1 A prize to the work “Ban Don Sun” by sculptor Nguyen Vinh; 2 B prizes to the works “Thirst for Origin” by sculptor Le Trong Nghia and “Back to the Forest 1” by painter Nguyen Hai Long; and also awarded 4 C prizes and 5 consolation prizes.

Sculptor Nguyen Vinh shared: The work “Ban Don Sun” is made from welded iron (size 145x100x40cm). The work conveys the hope for the reproduction of the next generation of elephants when the number of domesticated elephants in Dak Lak is currently decreasing significantly, getting older and very few elephants are still able to reproduce.

“Through the work “Ban Don Sun”, I hope that elephants will have a natural living environment and can reproduce naturally to preserve their breed,” said sculptor Nguyen Vinh.
