Ulsan National Sports Festival Torch to Be Chosen by Citizens ... Design Preference Survey

Three designs of the Olympic torch.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan City will decide the design of the torch for the ‘2022 National (Disabled) Sports Festival’ through a citizen vote.

From the 26th to June 2nd, Ulsan City will conduct a ‘Torch Design Public Preference Survey’ through the official website of the Sports Festival.

Prior to this, on the 20th, a ‘Torch Design Selection Review Committee’ was held with design experts, selecting three candidates out of five designs proposed by a professional design company to be surveyed for public preference.

The first design is themed around Ulsan’s symbol, ‘Whale and Taehwa River.’

Using blue, the color of Ulsan City’s slogan, it represents a bright future, hope, and dynamism, while white expresses the wish for a clean and fair competition.

The second design depicts the ‘Bamboo Grove of Sipri’ in Taehwa River National Garden.

It uses the green color of Taesan, the mascot of the 2022 Ulsan National (Disabled) Sports Festival, to express a flexible sports spirit.

The third design represents the ‘Torch Stand of Ulsan Sports Complex.’

It expresses Ulsan’s new city image, where industry, culture, tourism, and environment harmonize, in blue.

Ulsan City will conduct the public preference survey on these three designs for eight days from the 26th to June 2nd on the official website of the 103rd National Sports Festival.

Among participants, 100 people will be selected by lottery to receive mobile gift certificates worth 10,000 KRW to promote participation. The lottery will be held on June 3rd, and winners will be contacted individually on June 8th to receive their prizes.

After the public preference survey, once the torch design is finalized, Ulsan City plans to start production immediately and complete it by September.
