[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun) is conducting the '2020 Mapo-gu Volunteer Content Contest' for local residents until the 13th.

This contest was prepared to discover and share excellent cases related to volunteer activities to widely promote the true meaning of volunteering, as well as to raise social interest in volunteering and encourage the practice of a sharing culture by sharing Mapo-gu's volunteer stories together.

Any story related to volunteer activities, such as experiences, episodes, or touching stories, that can contribute to promoting volunteering or spreading the culture of sharing is eligible for submission.

Applicants can participate in the contest with various content types such as experience and activity essays, short comics, cartoons, webtoons, and videos. The district will review the submitted works by the 13th and announce the results through the Mapo-gu Office website in November.

Awards will be divided into two categories: adults and youth. Each category will select one grand prize winner, two excellence award winners, and three encouragement award winners, totaling 12 recipients who will receive certificates.

The award ceremony will be held at the Volunteer Day commemorative event on December 9.

Additionally, the contents submitted to this contest can be recognized as volunteer hours. For essays and similar works, 1 hour per A4 page up to a maximum of 4 hours; for comics and webtoons, 1 hour per page up to a maximum of 6 hours; and for videos, 2 hours per minute up to a maximum of 8 hours will be recognized as volunteer time.

Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, "By sharing Mapo-gu's warm volunteer stories through various content, I hope the hearts of residents and volunteers exhausted by COVID-19 can be comforted and revitalized," and added, "I ask for the interest and participation of many residents in the volunteer content contest to help revitalize the stagnant volunteer activities."
