[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hyung-joo] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 7th that it will hold a poster contest to promote children's rights titled "I am the Treasure of Dong-gu" to spread correct awareness of children's rights.

In February, Dong-gu established a comprehensive plan for children's rights education and promotion, and as the first step, prepared a poster contest where children directly draw from their perspective.

The submission period is until the 13th of next month, and any child under the age of 15 nationwide can participate.

The contest theme is the four major rights of children: right to survival, right to protection, right to development, and right to participation, and participants can freely express one or more of these rights.

The participation categories are divided into ▲Preschool Children (under 6 years old) ▲Elementary School (7 to 12 years old) ▲Middle School (13 to 15 years old).

One grand prize winner, three excellence award winners, and three encouragement award winners per category will be selected, totaling seven winners, who will receive the Dong-gu Mayor's Award and prize money (cultural gift certificates). The winning works will be announced in April, and the selected posters will be used for the ‘Dong-gu Children's Rights Promotion Project’.

Children who wish to participate can refer to the forms on the Dong-gu website and submit their works. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Women and Children Division, Child-Friendly Department.

A Dong-gu official said, “We hope many creative and diverse works expressed from the children's perspective will be submitted,” and added, “We will create a healthy and enjoyable child-friendly city Dong-gu where all children can freely express their rights.”
