The contest encourages them to express their artistic capabilities and to bring their artworks closer to the community.

During 25 years of services, Pan Pacific Hanoi has always taken an interest in their social responsibilities and community services to nurture artistic talents through diverse programmes and activities such as launching the “Art of Journey” book (2019) featuring 170 artworks from prestigious artists and sculptors in the Asia Pacific region, and the "Heart for Autism" fundraising exhibition, which introduced 15 paintings by autistic children in June 2023.

Recently, the hotel introduced Pan Pacific Hanoi 2024 Art Award along with the launch of the "Inspiring Tradition" painting contest, in collaboration with the Vietnam University of Fine Arts.
