[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province is accepting submissions for the 'Suwon Hope Billboard Autumn Edition' text until the 22nd of this month.

Participants can submit excerpts of 30 characters or fewer that convey hope and suit the autumn season, taken from literary works such as poems, novels, or essays.

Spaces are not counted in the character count, and punctuation marks are counted as one character each.

There are no regional restrictions for submissions. Interested individuals can visit the Suwon City website, go to 'Survey/Submission → Contest/Submission,' click on '2022 Suwon Hope Billboard Autumn Edition Text Contest,' and participate.

Each person can submit up to three works, and the source must be clearly indicated, including the book title, publisher, and page number.

Suwon City will select the texts after review by the Humanities Advisory Committee and copyright negotiations, including obtaining consent from the original authors.

The final winners will be announced on the Suwon City website at the end of next month.

Selected contributors will receive cultural gift certificates worth 300,000 KRW, and five runners-up will receive cultural gift certificates worth 50,000 KRW each.

The city posts the Suwon Hope Billboard at 14 locations, including the front fence of Suwon City Hall, four district offices, AK Plaza Suwon Station branch, and Industrial Bank of Korea Dong Suwon branch, changing the texts with each season. This project aims to create a humanities city that communicates with its citizens.
