[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Kia Motors announced on the 19th that it will hold the "2nd Kia Motors Youth Literary Award" contest for middle and high school students nationwide from the 20th to June 30th.


The Youth Literary Award is one of the programs included in Kia's representative social contribution campaign, the "Kia Happy Mobility Sharing Campaign." It is a contest conducted by Kia Motors in collaboration with Shinsegae Literature and the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation to discover literary talents among youth and foster humanities-based emotional development and self-reliance.


Submissions are accepted in two categories: poetry and prose. A total of 20 winners will be selected and awarded certificates and scholarships between July and August. The evaluation will be conducted by active poets, essayists, and critics from Shinsegae Literature. Four Gold Prize winners will receive 700,000 KRW each, eight Silver Prize winners 500,000 KRW each, and eight Bronze Prize winners 200,000 KRW each.


Kia Motors plans to publish the winning works in Shinsegae Literature's quarterly magazine "Unyulmasil" to introduce them to readers and support the awarded youths in using their literary talents as a foundation for social independence in the future.


Any middle or high school student nationwide or youth of the corresponding age is eligible to apply. Applicants must submit two original creative works in the chosen category via email.



A Kia Motors official stated, "We are holding the 'Youth Literary Award' contest again this year to help young people realize their potential early and grow well based on humanities knowledge," adding, "We will continue to plan and present various programs for youth in the future."
