[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) is accepting nominations and applications for the '28th Proud Citizen Award' until March 5.

The Dongjak-gu Citizen Award is given to citizens who have served as role models by promoting community harmony and making Dongjak-gu a better place to live.

Nominees must have lived or been active in the area for more than three years. However, those who have received the Citizen Award for similar achievements within the past three years or current public officials are excluded.

The award categories include ▲Safety & Order ▲Filial Piety & Good Deeds ▲Community Development ▲Social Welfare ▲Model Youth Leadership ▲Environmental Protection ▲Cultural and Sports Development, with up to 10 recipients receiving plaques.

Nominations can be made through heads of district offices or neighborhood offices, heads of related organizations by category, or heads of registered administrative organizations and facilities. Individuals may submit a nomination letter signed by at least 10 people who share the same intention.

Nomination letters can be submitted in person or by mail to the District Office's Autonomous Administration Division or the local neighborhood community center.

The district will conduct a fact-finding investigation of the candidates next month and make the final decision on the award recipients through the Public Merit Review Committee. The awards will be presented on Citizen's Day in April.

Last year, Ms. Kim ** from Sadang-dong (61, female) received the Filial Piety & Good Deeds award for her exemplary dedication to community harmony and development by providing free meals to low-income elderly residents and actively participating in environmental protection activities such as collecting recyclables and discarded home appliances.

Changwoo Lee, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, said, “I deeply thank all citizens who have shown interest and participation for a better city and community harmony,” adding, “Together with the citizens, we will create the future 100 years of Dongjak beyond change to evolution.”
