[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] During this year's Gyeongnam Hamyang Sansam Anti-Aging Expo period (9.10~10.10), a nationwide competition for amateur acoustic guitar players will be held.

The competition is targeted at purely domestic amateurs. About 50 teams selected through preliminary screening are expected to delight the eyes and ears of expo visitors.

The final round will feature a performance by the folk music group Haebaragi, famous for songs such as "The Person Who Brings Happiness," "With Love" (OST from the movie Miracle of Mom), and "Everyone is Love."

Participants must not have released any music tracks. Teams must be composed of purely domestic amateur adults (3 to 10 members).

The application period is from May 30 to July 15. Both cover songs and original compositions can be performed. Before the expo, 50 teams will be selected through document and video screening (non-face-to-face).

During the expo period, the 50 teams will go through preliminaries over 5 days, and the top 10 teams with excellent results will advance to the finals.

Applicants must produce one performance video (maximum 10MB) and submit it along with the application documents. Considering COVID-19, only online applications are accepted. The application form download and detailed information can be found on the Hamyang Arts Council blog.

Kim Jong-soon, Secretary General of the Expo Organizing Committee, said, "We hope that those who have been physically and mentally exhausted due to COVID-19 will come to the Hamyang Sansam Anti-Aging Expo venue this September to taste Hamyang Sansam and listen to acoustic guitar performances against the backdrop of the autumn Sangnim forest, healing their tired bodies and minds."

The 2021 Hamyang Sansam Anti-Aging Expo will be held as a government-approved international event under the theme "Millennium Sansam, the Dream of Life Extension" for 31 days from September 10 to October 10, 2021, at Hamyang Sangnim Park and Daebongsan Healing Valley.
