[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 15th that it will hold the 2nd National Character Calligraphy Contest to discover original characters themed around Haenam and dinosaurs.

This is the only contest in the country that combines dinosaurs and calligraphy. Participants should create works consisting of characters (illustrations, drawings, hand-drawn pictures, sketches, etc.) that evoke the Haenam Dinosaur Museum and matching hand lettering (titles, copy, famous lines, etc.).

Each participant can submit up to three works. The work size should be on paper of size 8-cut or larger (such as hanji, drawing paper, cream-colored paper, etc.). There are no restrictions on the method of expression, but the use of hand lettering and Hangul is mandatory.

Anyone from elementary school students and above can apply. Submissions can be made by visiting the Haenam Dinosaur Museum in person or by mail.

The submission period is from the 9th of last month until June 20th, and the results will be individually notified to the winners on July 9th. For more details, inquiries can be made through the Haenam-gun and Haenam Dinosaur Museum websites or by phone. Selected winning works will be exhibited at the Haenam Dinosaur Museum.

In the contest held for the first time last year, many diverse and creative works were selected, and large banners, street banners, and museum promotional products using images of excellent works were produced.

A county official said, “We ask for many participants with fresh works that people want to meet when they come to the Haenam Dinosaur Museum and can associate with Haenam.”
