[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Forest Service announced on the 18th that it will hold a contest from the 18th to the 29th to collect ideas for improving regulations related to forestry resource management.

Anyone from the public can participate. Those who wish to participate can check the proposal form and contest topics on the Korea Forest Service website under Administrative Information (Announcements), then submit their proposals by mail or email.

After receiving the ideas, the Korea Forest Service will review them through staff evaluation and expert judging, selecting five outstanding proposal submitters and awarding them prizes.

The grand prize (1 winner) will receive 500,000 KRW, the excellence prize (1 winner) 300,000 KRW, and the encouragement prize (3 winners) 100,000 KRW each. Additionally, 10 participants will be randomly selected to receive coffee gift certificates.

The results of the judging will be individually notified via text message and other means next month.

Through this contest, the Korea Forest Service plans to collect opinions on regulations that impose restrictions or cause inconvenience to the public throughout forestry management activities, from tree planting to timber harvesting, and reflect them in related laws and policy improvements.

Jeon Deok-ha, Director of the Forestry Resources Division at the Korea Forest Service, said, “We will ensure that public opinions are reflected in forestry resource policy formulation and related legal amendments,” and added, “We ask for your great interest and participation in the idea contest.”
