Seoul City Announces Autumn Edition 'Seoul Kkumsaegimpan' Billboard Text Contest... 6 Works Selected

Collecting Autumn-Themed Quotes for the Season of Abundance... Submissions Accepted Until the 24th

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 15th, Seoul City announced that it is conducting the ‘Seoul Dream Signboard Text Contest’ with the theme of phrases that evoke leisure and abundance until the 24th on the ‘Seoul City Homepage.’

The Seoul Dream Signboard is a large signboard installed on the front outer wall of the Seoul Library since June 2013 to deliver warm comfort and messages of hope to citizens in their harsh daily lives and to share messages that resonate within citizens' lives. It has been selected through a public contest for original pure Korean texts within about 30 characters.

In this contest, original creative texts that evoke leisure and abundance for the fall of 2022 are being accepted. The texts must be citizen-created phrases within 30 Korean characters, with up to 2 entries allowed per person, and each work must be submitted separately.

The submitted works will be reviewed by a text selection committee composed of internal and external members, and 6 works will be selected. The grand prize (1 work) will receive 1 million KRW, and the runner-ups (5 works) will each receive 200,000 KRW worth of cultural gift certificates, totaling about 2 million KRW. Kim Jong-su, Seoul City’s Citizen Communication Officer, said, “We are holding this contest to share the seasonal sentiment and leisure with Seoul citizens in autumn, and we hope for much interest and participation.”
