Amid the ongoing social distancing due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), to prioritize the safety of residents, the 'Labor Day Commemoration Event' originally scheduled for May was converted into a non-face-to-face event, and the '2020 Gangdong-gu Labor Rights Contest' was prepared to allow residents and workers to participate in the district administration online.

The contest, themed 'Improvement of Labor Rights and Protection of Rights for Gangdong-gu Workers,' will accept submissions for four weeks from September 4 to October 4.

The contest fields consist of two categories: 'Labor Rights Promotion UCC' to be actively used in spreading a labor-respecting culture, and 'Labor Policy Idea Proposal' to discover diverse and practical labor policies and reflect them in Gangdong-gu's labor policies.

For this contest, the district will award 2 million KRW to one team selected as the best in the 'Labor Rights Promotion UCC' category, 1 million KRW each to two excellent teams, and 500,000 KRW each to four encouragement teams.

Additionally, in the 'Labor Policy Idea Proposal' category, one best team will receive 1 million KRW, two excellent teams 500,000 KRW each, and four encouragement teams 300,000 KRW each. A total of 14 teams will be selected and awarded certificates along with a total prize of 9.2 million KRW.
