Looking for Candidates for the 28th Yangcheon District Residents Award

Eight Categories Including Regional Development, Community Harmony, Volunteerism, Filial Piety, and Good Deeds Open for Applications Until the 31st of This Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is seeking candidates for the ‘2021 28th Yangcheon Citizen Award’ to honor proud citizens who have dedicated themselves with exceptional effort and passion to the development of the district and local community, serving as role models for residents.

The Citizen Award is presented in eight categories: regional development, community harmony, volunteer work, filial piety and good deeds, environmental protection, culture and arts, sports, and education. Nominations for award candidates can be submitted through the local community service centers of the candidate’s residential district or the relevant departments by March 31.

Candidates must have continuously resided in the district for more than three years and have made special contributions in their respective categories. If you wish to recommend a candidate, you can fill out the nomination form available at the district office or community service centers and submit it with a recommendation from an authorized nominator.

Authorized nominators include heads of related organizations by category (including community center heads and department heads), school principals, district council members, or a joint recommendation by ten or more residents.

Submitted candidates will undergo a thorough review of their achievements by the Audit Officer, followed by a two-stage evaluation process by the Citizen Award Selection Committee: a written review (first stage) and a discussion review (second stage), through which eight awardees will be finally selected.

Marking its 28th year, the Yangcheon Citizen Award has honored a total of 169 recipients in categories such as regional development, community harmony, and volunteer work up to last year. The district plans to present merit plaques at the Citizen’s Day event scheduled for May and commemorate the proud achievements by engraving the names of this year’s awardees in the ‘Citizen Award Winners of the Year’ exhibition hall located on the first floor of the district office.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “We ask for your interest and active participation in recommending candidates so that we can express our gratitude and honor to the citizens who have worked hard to build Yangcheon-gu together with the residents.”
