When recommended by citizens, the nomination must be jointly endorsed by at least 50 citizens who are neither household members nor stakeholders of the nominee.

Nomination forms are available on the Andong City Hall website and at the Eup, Myeon, and Dong administrative welfare centers. Completed forms must be submitted by mail or in person to the Administrative Support Office of Andong City Hall by August 26.

A city official stated, “In September, the screening committee plans to select up to two awardees per category and present the awards at the ‘Andong Day event’ on October 3,” adding, “We ask for your interest in discovering great Andong residents who have contributed to the development of the local community.”

The Proud Citizen Award and the Honorable Andong Resident Award have been presented annually on October 3 to commemorate Andong’s 40th anniversary of city status in 2003. Up to last year, 37 Proud Citizens and 47 Honorable Andong Residents have been honored.
