[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Daegu City is calling for entries for the "26th Daegu City Landscaping Award," which recognizes outstanding private landscaping sites.

This is a traditional contest that awards landscaping sites in daily life that citizens can experience firsthand.

Since its inception in 1995, the Landscaping Award has been held annually and is now in its 26th year. However, last year, due to social distancing measures amid the spread of COVID-19, on-site evaluations were difficult, and no awards were given.

This contest includes sites that won in the 2020 contest as well as those completed in the first half of 2021.

The contest targets private landscaping projects located in Daegu City that were completed between January 1, 2019, and June 30, 2021.

This includes landscaping for general buildings, landscaping for apartment complexes and other multi-family housing, and private landscaping that contributes to improving urban scenery. Facility owners, constructors, and designers can all apply.

Applications are accepted from August 30 to September 17, and applicants must submit the application form and entry materials to the Daegu City Forest and Greenery Division.

Applications can be submitted in person, by mail, or by email. For more details, please check the announcements on the Daegu City website.

The winning entries will be selected through document screening and on-site evaluation by the Daegu City "Urban Forest Creation and Management Deliberation Committee."

Considering factors such as rational space design, construction completeness, and contribution to urban greening and landscape, a total of three works will be selected for the Grand Prize, Excellence Award, and Encouragement Award.

The final winners are expected to be announced in October, and awardees will receive a plaque from the Mayor of Daegu and a commemorative plaque.

Hong Seong-ju, Director of the Green Environment Bureau of Daegu City, said, "We aim to discover outstanding landscaping projects that contribute to creating a green city and inform many citizens about them."
