The application period is from the 7th to the 13th of next month, and any child under the age of 15 nationwide can participate.

The participation categories are divided into Aesthetic Children Division (under 6 years old), Elementary Division (7 to 12 years old), and Middle School Division (13 to 15 years old).

One first-place grand prize winner, and three winners each for excellence and encouragement awards per category, totaling seven winners, will be selected and awarded the District 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 accordingly.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Women's and Children's Division, Child-Friendly Section.
