The kite artisans competed in two categories of kite design and kite making, with Song An team from Thai Binh Province claiming the top position in both categories.
 
The participants also had a chance to show off their talents and skills in the traditional craft while sharing experience with each other.
 
The festival is the starting event of upcoming kite festivals and competitions which will be held annually in cities and provinces nationwide.
