The work named “A glimpse of Hanoi” has made Vu Thi Thanh Thu become the winner of the competition. Her work brings memorable memories to people when talking about Hanoi. It uses 2 main colors: Blue is the color of peace and red is the color of passion, deep affection that people have for Hanoi.

Thanh Thu shared: “I have collected familiar images and information about Hanoi to create my work. I’m not specialized in Art; therefore, I met some difficulties. I planned to use water color for my work but I didn’t succeed.”

Thanh Thu has joined lots of different competitions to sharpen her skills and gain more experiences. She has achieved some certain successes: Being in top 10 of the Graphic Design Competition ran by the Post and Telecommunication University in 2016 and top 20 of the competition “Non-alcoholic” ran by Ford Company.
