[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 20th at 3 p.m., Jinju City in Gyeongnam held a recommendation committee meeting with 30 members at the Citizen Hall to discover and review candidates for this year's Jinju Citizen Award, and presented appointment letters.

On this day, the committee elected Joo Gang-hong, president of the Korea Federation of Arts and Culture Organizations Jinju Branch, as chairman, and Choi Mi-seon, director of the Jinju Women's Cultural Center, as vice chairman, and began the official review starting with the announcement of the award plan.

As a result of the review, it was decided that candidate recommendations for this year will be accepted from July 24 to August 13 for about three months via visits and mail, and that both individuals and organizations can recommend candidates.

Started in 2001 and now in its 21st year, the Citizen Award is given to recipients who have contributed to enhancing the city's honor and the development of the local community. Even if the candidate is deceased or does not have a registered domicile or address in the city, they are eligible if their achievements are recognized.

Submitted candidates will be reviewed by the recommendation committee and selected as awardees, and the final awardees will be confirmed with the consent of the city council. The award ceremony will be held on October 10, Citizen's Day.

At the appointment ceremony, Jinju Mayor Jo Gyu-il said, "I hope to find outstanding individuals who have quietly worked for the development of the local community and their neighbors without showing off, thereby elevating the prestige of the Jinju Citizen Award," and added, "Although these are difficult and challenging times, I ask for your unwavering interest and cooperation in city administration."
