Jungnang-gu, Wise Physical Activity Video Contest

Applications open from June 1 to 30 for elementary, middle, and high school students and their families... Submit videos under 5 minutes featuring physical activities with family to overcome COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will hold the "Wise Physical Activity" video contest starting June 1 to promote health management for students and families exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Recently, the obesity rate among adolescents has been continuously increasing, and about 80% of adolescent obesity is said to potentially lead to adult obesity.

Additionally, due to social distancing in daily life, physical activity has decreased and feelings of depression have increased, signaling a red alert for adolescent health.

Accordingly, the district is encouraging voluntary physical activity among adolescents and relieving the frustration caused by restrictions on outdoor activities by holding a video contest under the theme "Wise Physical Activity with Family," inviting videos such as health exercises, dance, public service advertisements, and short films.

They are looking forward to fun and creative videos like "Our Family Strength Training," "We Sisters Are Dance Queens," and "Into the Rhythm with Family~."

The contest is open to elementary, middle, and high school students and their families in the area, with students required to participate. Entries can be submitted individually or as a family team. Videos filmed on smartphones, up to 5 minutes long, should be submitted with an application form via email (heyjuya78@jn.go.kr) by June 30.

Through the first round of document screening on July 1, nine teams will be selected, and in the second round, the videos will be posted on Jungnang-gu's official YouTube channel for public voting. The final results will be announced on July 24. Awards include ▲Grand Prize (1 entry), a cultural gift certificate worth 500,000 KRW ▲Excellence Award (3 entries), cultural gift certificates worth 400,000 KRW each ▲Encouragement Award (5 entries), cultural gift certificates worth 200,000 KRW each.
