Seoul Jung-gu Residents' Idea Contest

Policy Ideas Directly Proposed by Jung-gu Residents, Accepting Submissions Until the 18th... Open to All Jung-gu Residents and Those Affiliated with Workplaces, Schools, Institutions, or Organizations in Jung-gu

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seoyangho) is holding the "2021 Jung-gu Residents Idea Contest - Saranga Jungguhae!" until the 18th to find various policies and solutions from creative ideas directly proposed by residents.

The district is looking for brilliant ideas divided into four categories in this contest: ▲Welfare ▲Education & Culture ▲Housing Safety ▲Environment.

In addition, any creative ideas that contribute to the development of Jung-gu will be accepted.

Anyone who is a resident of Jung-gu or belongs to a workplace, school, institution, or organization located in Jung-gu can participate in the contest.

There are many cases where interesting policy content is discovered from residents' ideas in daily life and actually utilized in policies, making the contest meaningful as it is led by residents to build a community.

During the COVID-19 situation, it was thanks to the ideas of Jung-gu residents that a non-face-to-face content festival was held where people grew bean sprouts at home to donate and share their hearts with neighbors, and non-face-to-face (untact) sales were actively supported in the depressed traditional markets to revitalize commercial districts.

For offline submission of the contest, visit the Jung-gu Office website (Jung-gu Introduction → Notice Board → Announcements), fill out the "2021 Jung-gu Residents Idea Contest" form, and submit it to the submission box in front of the Civil Service Office on the 1st floor of Jung-gu Office (17 Changgyeonggung-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul).

Also, for online submission, a bulletin board was newly created on the Jung-gu Office website (Communication & Participation → Residents Idea Proposal → Jung-gu Residents Idea Contest), and to facilitate participation by many people, idea proposal channels via Google Forms and QR codes were established to expand the submission window.

The submitted creative ideas will go through a first round of document screening and a second round of committee evaluation based on ▲Creativity ▲Effectiveness ▲Economy ▲Feasibility ▲Obstacles to implementation, and the final ranking will be decided.

Especially in 2021, the scope of awards has been expanded, and prize money will be given to more idea providers.

The Best Award will be given to 5 people with 200,000 KRW each, the Novelty Award to 10 people with 100,000 KRW each, the Spark Award to 20 people with 50,000 KRW each, and the Struggle Award to 120 people with about 10,000 KRW each. The selection results will be announced on the district website around July and notified individually.

Seoyangho, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, "The diverse voices and small and large ideas of residents can create a better tomorrow for Jung-gu," and added, "We ask for much interest and participation in this Jung-gu Residents Idea Contest."
