Competitors have created many beautiful products useful for daily life.

Twenty-eight members of 14 teams from communes and towns in Tan Lac district participated in the competition. Each team completes two products from bamboo within 30 minutes.

The team of Tu Ne commune was awarded the first prize while the second and third prizes went to those of Nhan My and Dong Lai communes.
