Compared to the previous Children's Art Awards, although the number of paintings decreased, the quality of the paintings was higher because the Department of Education and Training and schools organized preliminary rounds before submitting the paintings. Many of the children's paintings clearly expressed their thinking about the content, their feelings about art, about life, emotions, and the living environment through innocent, pure, rustic but very lively drawings, with many unique and impressive compositions and colors, creating many emotions for the viewers.
