[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 5th that it will implement a sharing promotion contest project from April to promote various private resources and talent sharing to solve social problems and activate voluntary sharing activities among citizens.

This contest project will simultaneously proceed with two projects: ▲designation of sharing organizations and companies ▲support for sharing promotion project expenses.

The ‘Designation of Sharing Organizations and Companies’ project certifies companies or organizations that practice sharing and provide convenience to citizens as Gwangju-designated sharing organizations and companies, granting various benefits such as the right to use the Sharing Gwangju logo for three years, priority participation rights in Gwangju sharing-related events, and various promotional supports.

The ‘Support for Sharing Promotion Project Expenses’ targets freely proposed projects related to sharing activation, including ▲resident life-oriented sharing projects such as sharing goods, spaces, and talents ▲shared kitchen projects ▲sharing education and campaigns for youth ▲various projects that can solve urban problems such as economy, society, and environment through sharing.

Eligibility includes nonprofit private organizations, corporations, companies, and village communities with a history of sharing activities for more than six months, selecting 8 to 9 organizations through screening.

Selected companies, organizations, and village communities will receive project expenses up to 20 million won and various support measures to promote their activities.

Organizations, companies, and village communities wishing to participate in the contest can apply online or in person to the Gwangju City Autonomous Administration Division by the 13th. Detailed information can be found on the Gwangju City website’s public notice section.

Park Hyang, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, said, “Through this sharing promotion contest project, we hope that the sharing culture will spread further into the lives of Gwangju citizens as a core value that restores community solidarity.”
