[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju City announced on the 3rd that it is recruiting participants for the 'Youth Cybercrime Prevention Contest' to be held at the outdoor performance hall of Munhwa Neighborhood Park on the 19th.

The contest will be conducted in a format where youths solve OX quizzes and short-answer questions related to cybercrime prevention, and awards such as the Buk-gu Mayor's Award, Bukbu Police Station Chief's Award, and Gwangju Probation Office Director's Award will be given to the top 1st to 3rd place winners respectively.

In particular, youth club performances and various experience booths will be operated together to encourage youth interest and participation, and a cybercrime prevention good comment campaign will also be held until the 18th.

Mayor Moon said, "I hope this will be a beneficial time for youths to gain knowledge related to cybercrime prevention," and added, "We ask for the active interest and participation of youths to create a safe and sound cyber culture."

Meanwhile, Buk-gu signed a business agreement with eight organizations including the Dongbu Office of Education, Gwangju Probation Office, and Bukbu Police Station in February last year, and is operating various programs such as education on cybercrime prevention and victim response methods for youths.
