Ministry of the Interior and Safety Announces Contest for Proposals to Improve Digital Government Service Design

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The government will reflect the designs directly created by users of Government24 and others in actual service improvements based on government proposals.

On the 7th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it will hold the "Digital Government Service Design Improvement Proposal Contest" from the 8th to May 13.

This contest aims to improve the convenience and completeness of government digital services through user participation and proposals, and is being conducted in collaboration with the National Information Society Agency. Anyone interested in the design (UI/UX) of mobile apps or websites can apply individually or as a team. The contest consists of two categories: the production of prototypes demonstrating the design improvement direction of the Government24 mobile app in actual operation, and the creation of service improvement design plans by selecting one of nine mobile web services such as Gukmin Saenggakham and Worknet.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety will form a panel of experts in related fields to select 10 winning works through document and presentation evaluations, and award them at the "4th Electronic Government Day Ceremony" to be held in June.

Prizes totaling 24 million KRW will be awarded, including the Presidential Award, Prime Minister Award, Minister of the Interior and Safety Award, and National Information Society Agency Director Award. The improvement ideas from the winning works will be reviewed and supplemented by service operating organizations and experts, and utilized for actual service improvements.

Detailed information about this contest can be found on the websites of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (mois.go.kr) and the National Information Society Agency (nia.or.kr).

Jung Seon-yong, Director of the Digital Government Bureau at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, said, "This contest was held to promote digital government innovation centered on users," adding, "We hope many people participate and propose innovative ideas, which will be reflected in improvements to enhance service satisfaction."
