Gyeongbuk Province, 24th Tourism Souvenir Contest... Bonus Points for Entries with Hangul Motif

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 5th that it will hold the "24th Tourism Souvenir Contest" for five days from April 8 to 12.

The contest theme includes folk and craft products, industrial products, and processed foods with original designs and symbolic value reflecting regional characteristics (history, culture, tradition). All souvenirs priced under 30,000 KRW that domestic and international tourists can easily purchase are eligible.

In this contest, additional points will be awarded for souvenirs inspired by Hangul (Hunminjeongeum Haerye edition). This is related to the fact that both existing copies of the Hunminjeongeum Haerye edition (Andongbon and Sangjubon) were discovered in Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongbuk Province stated that this is a way to widely promote Gyeongbuk, which has preserved Hangul.

Anyone can participate regardless of region. For more details, contact the Gyeongsangbuk-do Tourism Association.

Gyeongbuk Province plans to award certificates and a total prize money of 21.5 million KRW to 22 winners: 1 Grand Prize, 1 Gold Prize, 2 Silver Prizes, 3 Bronze Prizes, 5 Encouragement Prizes, and 10 Honorable Mentions, and will select 60 special selections.

Kim Sang-cheol, Director of the Culture, Tourism and Sports Bureau of Gyeongsangbuk-do, said, "We hope many people will show interest and submit excellent works, and we will actively strive to discover and foster tourism souvenirs that anyone wants to buy, reflecting Gyeongbuk's unique colors."
