This competition involved participation from over 100 villages across 22 cities and counties in Jeonnam, and videos containing the meaning of respect for life were judged by Jeollanam-do and the Jeonnam Regional Mental Health Welfare Center.

Villages, clinics, pharmacies, and emergency medical institutions each submit photos and videos for evaluation. Gangjin-gun also submitted seven works from villages, clinics, and pharmacies.

The active participation of village residents was highly praised.
