[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Gijang-gun is holding the '2022 Book of the Year Reading Contest' for elementary school students in the district until November 30.

Now in its 5th year, the contest is part of the project 'Meeting Gijang Children with Books: One City, One Book Reading Movement,' where the local community reads and participates together with one book.

To participate in the contest, students must write a book report of appropriate length on one of the four candidate books for Gijang-gun's Book of the Year: Ilgop Beonjjae Noryeon Benchi (The Seventh Yellow Bench), Gapjagi Ag-eo Appa (Suddenly, Crocodile Dad), Moduga Wonhaneun Ai (The Child Everyone Wants), or Ginginbam (The Long Night).

Applications can be submitted by downloading the form from the Jeonggwan Library website, filling out the application and book report, and submitting them via the website, email, mail, or in person.

A panel of judges composed of experts in literary creation will evaluate the book reports and award 12 winners with the Gijang-gun Mayor's Prize and 3 winners with the Busan City Superintendent of Education Prize. The results will be announced on the library website in December, and winners will be notified individually.

For more details about the book report contest, please refer to the Jeonggwan Library website or contact the Gijang-gun Library or Jeonggwan Library team.
