[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam will hold the ‘2022 Changwon Media Festival’ on the 16th at the 2nd Exhibition Hall of Changwon Convention Center.

This event is held to strengthen urban brand promotion and provide media workforce training and cultural enjoyment rights in the region, as YouTubers have become so popular that they are ranked as the number one preferred occupation among elementary and middle school students in the era of one-person media.

The one-person media festival, representing the 4th industrial revolution, is prepared to vividly experience the world of individual creators through 45 booths including citizen creator selection, on-site voting and awards ceremony for video contests, meetings with creators, media equipment and exhibition experiences, mukbang, and live commerce experiences.

There will also be meetings with famous local creators such as Namjasseu TV, competitions with game creators, and experiences with drones, NFTs, robot rides, and 3D printers, along with performances by famous creators Mushvenom and Cheetah.

In addition, the ‘Changwon Star U 3rd Generation,’ who will be active on the city’s official YouTube channel, Chucheon Changwon, will accept online applications until the 15th, and five final members will be selected by evaluating talent and skills at the festival site.

Especially at the 2022 Changwon Media Festival, to add fun and interest, gifts will be given on-site for successfully completing missions using SNS, and a 10,000 won gifticon will be provided through a lottery drawing.

Besides NFT experiences, random prizes such as Changwon Zip Track tickets and Robot Land admission tickets will be given, and an event to capture a special day at the festival with a life-cut photo booth is also prepared.

From April 1st to June 19th, a media video contest will be held, and among the 151 submitted channels, the final 4th on-site voting will determine the grand prize, gold, silver, and bronze awards by category on the day of the event. All these events will be streamed live on the city’s official YouTube channel, Chucheon Changwon.

First Deputy Mayor An Kyung-won said, “I hope this festival will bring vitality to citizens tired from COVID-19,” and added, “I hope it will be a great help to all citizens dreaming of becoming creators in the 4th industrial revolution era by feeling and experiencing it in a place of communication and festival.”
