Gyeonggi-do Unveils Winning Entries of Contest to Prevent Japan's Nuclear Wastewater Discharge

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province announced two winning entries in a creative promotional content contest aimed at preventing Japan's unauthorized discharge of nuclear power plant contaminated water.

Gyeonggi Province revealed on the 15th that out of 435 submissions, two poster works were selected as the final winners.

One of the winning posters, created by Lee Ji-a, a 5th-grade elementary school student, depicts a sea turtle with two heads caused by genetic mutation from radioactive contaminated water, hesitating about where to go.

The other winning work, by Yoon So-yeon, expresses skepticism about whether the contaminated water that Japan claims is safe can really be consumed.

Gyeonggi Province plans to use 50 pieces of content, including the two winning posters, 11 posters that reached the final judging round, one character, and 38 messages, as promotional content on social networking services (SNS) and other platforms.

Governor Lee Jae-myung posted the poster drawn by student Lee Ji-a on Facebook that day and said, "What Gyeonggi Province must do is to fulfill its role," promising, "We will devote ourselves to the primary duty of politics and administration, protecting the lives and safety of the people with flawless and ironclad defense."
