HÀ NỘI — An image of Long Biên Bridge with a sunny background by author Bùi Bảo Đạt won the Winning Prize in a logo design contest held by Long Biên District, Hà Nội.

Overcoming 347 entries, Đạt received the VNĐ150 million prize with the project "Prosperous Flow - Long Biên Imprint".

Speaking about the winning work, Đạt said he came up with the idea and drew it in seven days. The design takes the image of the Long Biên bridge, which is familiar to the people in the capital as well as the whole country, with the sun shining behind.

“The image of the bridge shows movement, the colours change over time from dawn to dusk, through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The logo's message aims at a strong, sustainable connection from the past to the present and the future,” said Đạt.

The contest's organisation board also awarded the Impressive Prize, worth VNĐ50 million, to artist Trần Thiên Quý. The Idea Prize, worth VNĐ25 million, went to artists Hà Huy Khánh while Nguyễn Văn Sao pocketed the Distribution Prize, worth VNĐ25 million.
