Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Announces Recruitment for '2021 National Participation Contest' Participants

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on the 26th that it will hold the '2021 National Participation Contest,' where policy officers from various ministries and the public form teams to communicate and promote government policies.

Now in its third year, this contest features policy officers from nine ministries including the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, awaiting the public's choice. Participants in this contest select one of the 15 policies proposed by the policy officers that they wish to promote, and with the help of promotion experts and policy officers, they will carry out everything from planning to execution of the promotion themselves.

Citizens wishing to participate in the contest can select a policy of interest and express their thoughts on policy promotion in various formats (video, audio, text) by 6 p.m. on May 21, and submit their entries on the contest website.

Selected participants will form teams with policy officers and promotion experts to receive preliminary training on promotion and then prepare team-based promotion plans for the chosen policies. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism plans to select three promotion plans to be actually promoted through team presentations and evaluations by promotion experts in July. After the promotion execution and final evaluation in November, a total of nine works will be awarded grand prizes, excellence awards, and merit awards. Winners of the grand prize and excellence awards will receive the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award along with prize money.

A Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism official stated, “We hope that the good ideas from the public will complement the shortcomings of policy promotion and lead to a path of communication that the public can directly experience.”
