Hosted by the Gyeongnam Cultural Center Federation, this year's competition will continue for three days until the 4th. Seventeen teams composed of seniors aged 60 and over from cultural centers in cities and counties across the province are participating.

Last year, the competition was canceled due to COVID-19, but this year it is being held non-face-to-face through cooperation between Geochang County, the Gyeongnam Cultural Center, and cultural centers of each city and county.

The organizers will film each team's performance according to COVID-19 prevention guidelines and conduct judging through a meeting of the judging committee.

County Governor Goo In-mo said, "It is a great honor to hold this year's Senior Nongak Competition in Geochang," adding, "We will strive to make this event an opportunity to widely promote, inherit, and develop the excellence of our traditional culture, Nongak."

The Geochang Changpo Garden, where this competition is held, is famous as the first provincial garden in Gyeongnam, created on a scale of 130,000 pyeong.
