The Korea Interior Architecture Competition is a long-standing and traditional contest regarded as one of the leading interior architecture design events in Korea, serving as a gateway for emerging designers. Since 2010, KCC Glass has co-hosted the competition for 12 years to support the expansion of interior architecture design and the discovery of talented individuals.

After submissions in July and through the first and second rounds of judging, a total of about 100 works were selected as final winners from 254 entries, including △Grand Prize (1 work) △Excellence Award (2 works) △Outstanding Award (5 works) △Encouragement Award (16 works) △Special Selection (37 works) △Honorable Mention (47 works). The Grand Prize winner received a certificate and a cash prize of 6 million KRW, the Excellence Award winners received certificates and 3 million KRW each, and the other winners were also awarded certificates and cash prizes accordingly.

The Grand Prize honor went to the team of students Joo Jin-hyung, Kim Hyo-bin, and Seo Jung-woo from Hansei University for their work titled "A Retrospective Error Dreaming of Ideals Travel Space." This work was designed to transform movie theaters, which have been in crisis due to COVID-19, into spaces where modern people pursue happiness. The innovative spatial composition, which creates the illusion of being the protagonist in a movie even after the film ends, received high praise from the judges.

Mo Jeong-hyun, president of the Korea Society of Interior Architects and Designers, said, "The Korea Interior Architecture Competition has established itself as a representative interior architecture design event in Korea and a gateway for interior architecture designers," adding, "We will continue to provide various opportunities so that young people can freely express their creative ideas and be confidently recognized as designers."

A HomeCC official stated, "The Korea Interior Architecture Competition is a meaningful contest where we can meet talented and innovative future designers," and added, "HomeCC will continue to support young talents in the interior architecture design field to contribute to advancing the interior industry to the next level."
