This work was submitted as Jeju's representative entry to the nationwide Children's Fire Safety Poster Contest hosted by the National Fire Agency.

The outstanding works will be exhibited in relay for six weeks at four locations frequently visited by children and residents: Jeju Safety Experience Center, Jeju Provincial Office, Tamna Library, and Hallra Library.

Anyone visiting the respective locations during the exhibition period can view the works.

Park Geun-oh, Chief of the Fire Safety Headquarters, said, "By drawing fire safety posters, children were able to recognize the importance of fire prevention and further enhance their safety awareness," and added, "We hope many residents will participate in the exhibition to experience the children's imagination and creative ideas."
