Gangnam-gu, MEMEWE Pet Photo and Story Contest

Applications Accepted from the 1st, Targeting Dogs and Cats... Up to 3 Entries per Individual (Team) Allowed

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu District Office (Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) will hold the ‘MEMEWE Pet Photo and Essay Contest’ themed on companion animals starting from the 1st.

This contest was prepared to allow people to share memories with their pets through photos and essays, as the time spent with companion animals at home has increased due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Companion animals are limited to dogs and cats, and anyone can participate. Each individual can submit up to three works. Participants can download the form from the Gangnam-gu District Office website and submit the application form and entry files via email to the person in charge (euree0213@gangnam.go.kr) by the 30th of this month.

In October, through judging, one Grand Prize winner (team), two Excellence Award winners (teams), and three Encouragement Award winners (teams) will be selected. A total prize money of 1,700,000 KRW will be awarded to six winners (teams). The winning and selected works will be exhibited on the district office website and in the lobby on the first floor of the district office.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the District Office Regional Economy Division.

Lee Seon-hyung, head of the Regional Economy Division, said, “We expect that this ‘MEMEWE Pet Photo and Essay Contest’ will serve as an opportunity to foster a mature companion animal culture by sharing the experiences and memories of pet owners with non-pet owners.”
