The Safety Culture Award is presented to individuals, organizations, or corporations who have made significant contributions to disaster and safety management in order to create a community where citizens can live with peace of mind through disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.

The awards will be given to a total of six recipients: three individuals and three organizations (private, corporate, or legal entities) across various safety culture fields (fire, traffic accidents, crime, infectious diseases, natural disasters, safety accidents, etc.). Awardees will receive a certificate and prize money of 1 million KRW for individuals and 3 million KRW for organizations.

For the individual category, applicants must have been registered residents in Suncheon City and continuously lived there for more than one year as of the application deadline. For the organization category, applicants must have had an office in the jurisdiction and have been active for more than one year, contributing to local safety.

Applications can be submitted by filling out the application form for each category posted on the Suncheon City website and either visiting in person, mailing, or emailing the form. Recommendations from the heads of the relevant eup, myeon, or dong offices are also accepted.

The application period is until October 29, and the awards ceremony is planned for December.

A city official stated, "By discovering unsung heroes who have made significant contributions to enhancing and spreading safety culture such as safety management and disaster prevention, and awarding the Safety Culture Award, we expect to greatly contribute to creating a voluntary safety culture movement in the local community."

Meanwhile, last year, Suncheon City selected two individuals and three organizations as recipients of the 1st Suncheon City Safety Culture Award.
