"Ordinary but Special Neighbors, Please Recommend Them Now!"
'2020 National Recommendation Awards' Nominations and Submissions Open Until the 30th
[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 14th that it is accepting recommendations and applications for the '2020 National Recommendation Awards,' where hidden contributors to our society are directly recommended by the public and awarded by the government, until the 30th.
Anyone except the nominee themselves can recommend individuals who serve as role models in society through acts of sharing, contributions to safety, and spreading hope.
Specifically, these include ▲people who have practiced social service and sharing ▲people who have donated property or talents ▲people dedicated to rescue or life protection ▲people who have worked hard to protect and nurture the environment ▲people who have overcome adversity to give hope and courage to those around them ▲people who have brought honor to Korea through international relief efforts ▲people who have practiced social integration, among others.
The Ministry plans to verify the merits of the recommended individuals on-site in the second half of the year and decide and award the recipients after review by the National Recommendation Screening Committee. Depending on their merits, recipients will be awarded the Order of Civil Merit, the Presidential Citation, or the Prime Minister's Citation.
Now in its 10th year, the National Recommendation Awards have so far discovered and honored a total of 420 contributors from various fields, including the late Father Lee Tae-seok, known as the "Schweitzer of Sudan."
