The "Uncle Ho with Children - Children with Uncle Ho" competition is a beneficial and creative playground organized by the Youth Pioneer and Children's Newspaper in coordination with the Central Council of the Ho Chi Minh Young Pioneers Organization, practically aiming to commemorate the 136th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birth (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2026) and the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Ho Chi Minh Young Pioneers Organization (May 15, 1941 - May 15, 2026).
From 2020 to 2025, the competition attracted more than 5 million individual and group entries from provinces and cities across the country. These were written pieces, drawings, and videos expressing the love and respect for President Ho Chi Minh, and relating his teachings to practical situations, written by young children in pure and sincere language.
Continuing this widespread impact, 2026 marks the sixth year that the "Uncle Ho with Children - Children with Uncle Ho" competition will be held nationwide, aiming to provide Vietnamese children with the opportunity to learn about the life, career, and revolutionary achievements of the beloved President Ho Chi Minh, while also reviewing the valuable lessons on ideology, morality, and style that he left for future generations.

Participants include all Vietnamese children (aged 6 to 15) studying and living in Vietnam and abroad, as well as primary and secondary school youth organizations, children's palaces, youth centers, and youth activity centers nationwide.
