Notably, among the winning works are pieces that showcase new charms of Songpa, such as ▲a work featuring Songpa's date spots to introduce to foreign friends (Excellence Award), ▲a work where a foreign teacher and Korean students guide the Songpa Dullegil trail (Excellence Award), and ▲a work by an active rapper introducing eight stations of Songpa-gu through rap (Encouragement Award).

The 17 winning works will be broadcast on ▲the district office's media billboard ▲tourist information centers ▲tourist information kiosks, and will be used as promotional content for Songpa tourism.
