[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 28th that it will hold a vlog video contest titled 'My Own Healing Travel in Gyeongnam,' introducing healing trips utilizing various tourist resources in Gyeongnam.

A vlog (V-log) is a compound word of video and blog, meaning recording one's daily life in video form as if writing a post on personal social networking services (SNS).

This contest was planned to further strengthen Gyeongsangnam-do's image as a representative healing travel destination in Korea, as travel trends have shifted to 'rest and healing' due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Hosted by Gyeongsangnam-do and organized by the Gyeongnam Tourism Association, the contest runs from the 28th of this month until November 6th, and anyone interested in Gyeongnam tourism can apply.

Gyeongsangnam-do plans to comprehensively evaluate the entries based on theme suitability, popularity, originality, and completeness, selecting a total of 20 works in November (1 grand prize, 1 excellence prize, 3 outstanding prizes, 5 encouragement prizes, and 10 honorable mentions). The selected outstanding works will receive a total prize money of 13.5 million KRW, including 3 million KRW for the grand prize and 2 million KRW for the excellence prize.

For detailed submission guidelines and specifications, refer to the announcement section on the Gyeongsangnam-do website or the Gyeongnam Tourism Association website.

Gyeongsangnam-do plans to use the selected award-winning works for promoting Gyeongnam tourism through various channels, including posting on the Gyeongnam Tourism Guide website and the province's social networking services (SNS).

Lee Jae-cheol, Director of the Tourism Promotion Division of the province, said, "This contest will serve as an opportunity to promote Gyeongnam tourism both domestically and internationally," and added, "We ask for much interest and participation so that many hidden travel spots where people can safely heal from COVID-19 can be discovered."
