[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] Hana Bank announced the final winners of the 28th Hana Bank Nature Love Children's Art Contest on the 26th.

The Hana Bank Nature Love Children's Art Contest is a nationwide children's art competition with a long history and tradition, officially sponsored by the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korea Forest Service, and the Seoul Museum of Art.

From over 11,000 submissions received over three months starting June 15 under the theme "Dive into Nature! Dive into Happiness! Let's Draw the Nature Everyone Dreams Of," a total of 200 children who passed the preliminary screening advanced to the final round.

This final competition was held online to prevent the spread of COVID-19, allowing children living in Cambodia to participate, providing an opportunity for the contest to grow into a global event.

Participants comfortably drew their pictures under the theme "Draw the Beautiful Moments of Nature I Have Seen" at locations where online video conferencing was possible, then submitted photos verifying their completed works along with the original pieces. After fair judging by experts, the grand prize, the Minister of Environment Award, along with the Hana Bank President's Award, Korea Forest Service Director's Award, and Seoul Museum of Art Director's Award were selected. Winners will be awarded certificates and scholarships.

A Hana Bank official stated, "In line with the contest's purpose of awakening children to the meaning of happiness through love for nature and sharing, Hana Bank will collect 1,000 KRW per submitted work as a donation to environmental protection organizations," adding, "We hope children experience that simply participating in the contest allows them to practice environmental love."
