Wonkwang University Regional Humanities Center, Writing and Drawing 'Contest'

Studying Iksan Cultural Heritage with Family

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] The Regional Humanities Center of the Northeast Asia Humanities and Social Sciences Research Institute at Wonkwang University announced on the 18th that it will hold a "Writing and Drawing Contest with Family" for elementary school students in Jeollabuk-do.

Although offline lectures and gatherings are difficult due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this contest, prepared to share Iksan's humanities assets in a new format, will be held from the 15th of this month to the 10th of next month under the theme of "Tangible and Intangible Assets of the Iksan Region."

To participate in the contest, students must choose one category among poetry (2 pieces), prose (5 to 7 manuscript pages), or drawing (one sheet of 8-cut drawing paper), complete their work, and send it by mail to the Wonkwang University HK+ Regional Humanities Center (1st floor, College of Life Sciences, 460 Iksan-daero, Iksan-si).

Submitted works will be judged to select the grand prize, second prize, and third prize winners. The judging aims to provide an experience of viewing Iksan's humanities assets from children's perspectives and to enhance interest in local humanities assets through time and opportunities for communication with family.

The director of the Regional Humanities Center said, "I hope this contest will be a good opportunity for participating students to think about the forms of Iksan's cultural heritage," and added, "We hope that interest and enthusiasm for cultural assets will increase through family participation," asking for many families to join.

Meanwhile, Wonkwang University's Regional Humanities Center "Hamseong Humanities" is promoted as part of the Humanities Korea Plus (HK+) project and operates various programs such as humanities lectures, humanities convergence, and humanities festivals based on Jeollabuk-do's humanities assets.
