[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Forest Welfare Institute announced on the 6th that it will hold the "Forest Welfare Children's Drawing Contest" until the 28th of next month.


As part of the government's national agenda, "The Era of Living Culture Enjoying Culture in Daily Life," this contest is themed "The Forest of Hope Beyond the Mask (Subtitle: 'Forest and Hope')" and is open to children in kindergartens, preschools, and elementary school students.


Applicants can apply on the contest website, print out the application confirmation, and submit it by mail along with the original drawing to the contest operation office.


The Forest Welfare Institute will select 42 outstanding works through judging. The winners will be announced in June on the Forest Welfare Institute and contest websites, and participating children with winning entries will receive prizes worth a total of 3.1 million KRW (such as forest welfare service gift certificates or forest welfare experience kits).


The winning works will be exhibited in an online VR gallery space until the end of December this year. Additionally, they will be produced as a mind-healing coloring book incorporating forest welfare and distributed to forest welfare facilities nationwide, including the National Forest Healing Center, National Forest Experience Center, National Healing Forest, and National Sky Forest Memorial Park.



Lee Chang-jae, Director of the Forest Welfare Institute, said, "I hope this contest will be an opportunity for national healing and comfort in daily life exhausted by COVID-19," and added, "The Forest Welfare Institute will continue to plan various forest welfare cultural events that communicate with the public to expand participation culture and realize tangible forest welfare."
