The Korea Forest Service plans to select one Grand Prize winner, the best artist award for each category, the Artist of the Year award, the Ulsan Noted Artist award, and the Korea Garden Show Artist award by evaluating the works of participating artists.

Applicants wishing to participate should submit a panel design, project proposal, detailed statement, and career description via email.
