SANA quoted Al-Zaqout as saying: “The golden colors of the painting expressing joy, goodness and blessing embody the aesthetics of the immaterial Syrian heritage during the ritual of the wheat harvest season.

Majd stressed that this award has motivated him a lot and encouraged him to continue developing his talent and work to refine it so that he can participate in various international competitions, indicating that he presents  his award  to the children of Syria who have defied all the difficult circumstances during the years of the terrorist war on Syria and continued their academic achievement, developed their talents and took part in scientific and cultural competitions and events.
