Kyobo Life Insurance, Gwanghwamun Geulpan University Student Essay Contest... Special Benefits for Award-Winning Works

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Kyobo Life Insurance is waiting for stories from young people who resonate with the 'Gwanghwamun Writing Board.'

Kyobo Life Insurance announced on the 17th that it will hold the '2020 Gwanghwamun Writing Board University Student Essay Contest' until the 10th of next month. Participants can choose one of the themes of this year's Gwanghwamun Writing Board ?'Life,' 'Circulation,' or 'Hope'?and submit essays expressing their experiences and thoughts.

Since 2015, Kyobo Life Insurance has been hosting the 'Gwanghwamun Writing Board University Student Essay Contest.' Every year, over 1,000 students participate, weaving messages of comfort and hope from the Gwanghwamun Writing Board into their writing.

This spring edition of the Gwanghwamun Writing Board is inspired by poet Cheon Yang-hee's poem "Writing to You." Just as nature repeatedly undergoes extinction and creation to continuously generate newness, the message encourages us to "look forward to the hope of tomorrow rather than regret what has passed."

Kyobo Life Insurance plans to select outstanding works that well capture the meaning of the spring edition's text and evoke empathy from many readers.

Any undergraduate or graduate student, domestic or international, can participate in the contest. Entries can be submitted through the Kyobo Life Insurance website by April 10. Submissions will be judged by the Gwanghwamun Writing Board Text Selection Committee, composed of poets, novelists, and editorial writers. Winners will be announced in May.

The grand prize winner will receive a scholarship and the special privilege of serving as an honorary member of the Gwanghwamun Writing Board Selection Committee.

A Kyobo Life Insurance official said, "If you slowly savor this spring edition of the Gwanghwamun Writing Board, you will feel the life force inherent in nature," adding, "We hope many excellent works that capture the vitality of nature in writing will be submitted."

Meanwhile, the Gwanghwamun Writing Board is a large signboard measuring 20 meters wide and 8 meters high, displayed on the outer wall of the Kyobo Life Insurance Building. Since 1991, it has delivered messages of hope and love to citizens. The spring edition of the Gwanghwamun Writing Board will be displayed until the end of May at the Gwanghwamun Kyobo Life Insurance Building and the Gangnam Kyobo Tower, among other locations.
