This contest was organized to create a new culture combining food culture and art by connecting people, spaces, and time through Ottogi products. It was conducted under two themes: ▲Ottogi products and ▲Ottogi stories containing memories with Ottogi products. Entries were divided into the 'General Category (ages 19 and above)' and the 'Children and Youth Category (ages 7 to 18),' with a total of 3,945 submissions.

In the General Category, one Grand Prize winner (5 million KRW), two Excellence Award winners (2 million KRW each), and three Merit Award winners (1 million KRW each) were selected. In the Children and Youth Category, one Grand Prize winner (2 million KRW), two Excellence Award winners (1 million KRW each), and three Merit Award winners (500,000 KRW each) were chosen. Additionally, 50 special awards (50,000 KRW Ottogi Mall points) were given across the General, Children, and Youth categories, making a total of 62 winning works.

The Grand Prize in the General Category was awarded to Bukumhee’s 'Ottogi Village,' which was praised for cheerfully depicting a warm and happy Ottogi village through illustrations of cute characters enjoying happy daily lives with Ottogi products. The Grand Prize in the Children and Youth Category went to Guminjung’s 'Ottogi Waterpark,' which attracted attention by amusingly portraying flakes as cute characters playing in a swimming pool made with Ottogi’s representative Jin Ramen.

An Ottogi representative stated, "As this was the first contest held this year, many participants creatively expressed various memories related to Ottogi products through illustrations in each category," and added, "We will continue to hold this event regularly to repay the interest of many people."
