[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 5th that it will conduct judging for the festival poster national contest within this month to promote the ‘2020 Festivals’.

This contest is being promoted to induce public interest and participation and to enhance promotional effects for the 48th ‘Gangjin Celadon Festival’ and the 5th ‘Gangjinman Dancing Reed Festival’ scheduled to be held this year.

As a result of the contest held from January 20 to last month 20, a total of 48 works were submitted, with 25 entries for the Celadon Festival and 23 for the Reed Festival. After 1st to 3rd round judging, one final work will be selected for each festival.

The 1st round judging will select 5 works per festival by an internal judging panel composed of festival and design-related officials and art majors. The 2nd round will conduct an internal public official preference survey and award bonus points based on the voting ratio. The 3rd round judging will be conducted by an external panel of design and art experts who will individually evaluate the works and combine the scores with the 2nd round bonus points to select one work with the highest score as the final winner for each festival. Works that narrowly miss selection in the 3rd round will be chosen as runners-up and awarded together.

The county will finalize the posters by the end of this month reflecting the revision suggestions presented by the judges during the 3rd round and will hold an unveiling event for the winning works next month to further enhance promotional effects.

Once the festival posters are finalized, they will be actively utilized for domestic and international promotion by distributing them through the county website, SNS, local governments nationwide, travel agencies, and the Korea Tourism Organization.

A Gangjin-gun Festival Team official said, “Based on the trial and error of this year’s first-ever national poster contest, we will continuously expand and promote the contest by supplementing improvements so that the poster contest can establish itself as another promotional event.”
