The submission period for this summer edition is from May 4 to May 21.

Anyone residing in Jungnang-gu or working at a business within the district can submit one entry per person.

To participate, write an original phrase within 30 characters that conveys a cool and refreshing feeling for the summer, and submit it through the Jungnang-gu Office website (Citizen Participation → Internet Submission).

If online application is difficult, submissions can also be made by visiting the Administrative Support Division of Jungnang-gu Office or by mail.

The selection will be made by a wording selection committee composed of internal and external members, choosing six works. The winning entry (1 work) will receive 500,000 KRW, and five runner-up entries will each receive 100,000 KRW worth of Jungnang Love gift certificates, totaling approximately 1,000,000 KRW in prizes.

The winning phrase will be designed accordingly and displayed from June through August.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi of Jungnang-gu said, “The Happiness Billboard has already reached its first anniversary. Many residents have told us that they find comfort in their hearts as they pass by the front of the government building,” and added, “We hope many fresh and creative phrases that convey a cool and refreshing feeling during the hot weather will be submitted for this summer edition.”

The Jungnang Happiness Billboard is a large billboard on the outer wall of Jungnang-gu Office, installed at the end of April last year, and has been operated as a place where residents express their emotions each season.

For this spring edition, Kim Seong-hyun’s phrase, “When new sprouts emerge in the square full of spring light, the hope inside me also stretches,” was selected.
