Awardees selected as 'Residents of Jungnang for over 3 years' or 'Organizations' contributing to community harmony and regional development will be honored at the May Rose Festival.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is recruiting candidates for the 26th Jungnang Citizen Award until the 31st to discover exemplary citizens who cherish and love the district.

The award targets individuals or organizations who have contributed to community harmony and regional development. Individuals must have resided in the district for more than three years.

The awards are divided into four categories: ▲ Volunteer Award for those who have dedicated themselves to the community or residents ▲ Filial Piety Award for those who respect their parents despite difficult circumstances and serve as role models for others ▲ Model Family Award for families with three or more generations living in the same area for over 10 years, serving as examples to other families ▲

and a Special Award for those whose contributions to the district are especially recognized. One individual or one organization will be selected per category, but only individuals can receive the Model Family Award.

Candidates can be recommended by heads of local institutions, organizations, or schools, or by a joint recommendation of more than 10 residents, and then nominated by the head of the candidate’s neighborhood office. Winners will be finally selected through a review by the Public Merit Review Committee and verification of their achievements.

A plaque will be awarded to the winners, and the ceremony is scheduled to take place at the May ‘2021 Seoul Rose Festival.’

Now in its 26th year, the ‘Jungnang Citizen Award’ has recognized 3 organizations and 91 proud citizens to date. Last year’s winners included Han Mi-soon, who devotedly cared for her disabled parents-in-law (Filial Piety Award), and the ‘Jungnang-gu Pharmacists Association,’ which contributed to the establishment of the public mask 5-day rotation system during the COVID-19 mask shortage (Special Award).

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “We hope that many will actively recommend those who dedicate themselves to regional development and service in unseen places,” adding, “We look forward to the day when we can meet citizens more beautiful than roses at the Seoul Rose Festival.”
