Sunset Spot 'Hangang Noeul Jeulgimteo' Design Competition Until the 22nd of Next Month

Seoul City announced on the 4th that it will hold a design competition for the 'Hangang Sunset Enjoyment Space' from the 5th of this month to the 22nd of next month to create a sunset-specialized space along the Hangang River.

This plan aims to create an international scenic spot where the city and the Hangang River harmonize by utilizing the beautiful and diverse Hangang sunsets.

The design competition targets 20 sunset spots identified through last year's citizen photo contest.

Among the 20 sunset spots, participants can freely choose either one spot in the 'new establishment' category or two spots in the 'reconfiguration' category, and submit a spatial plan for a sunset enjoyment spot that captures the sensibility and charm of the Hangang River along with a story about the sunset.

Experts, students, and general citizens can all participate, and registration and submission of works can be done on the Seoul City design competition website. Registered participants and companies can attend the on-site briefing session on the 13th of this month, and design proposals must be submitted by August 22nd.

For the 'new establishment' category scheduled for construction this year, the first-place winner (one team/person) will be granted the priority negotiation right for the basic and detailed design contract. The second place will receive 8 million KRW, third place 5 million KRW, and fourth place 3 million KRW, with a total prize money of 16 million KRW.

This competition also includes general citizens, including last year's citizen photo contest winners, as judges. This is to reflect the voices and preferences of citizens and to create an attractive Hangang River together with the public.

Hong Seon-gi, Director of Future Space Planning at Seoul City, said, "This competition is a meaningful and enjoyable opportunity to transform sunset spots directly discovered by citizens into spaces that embody the sensibility and charm of the Hangang River," adding, "We ask for much interest and participation as citizens' creative ideas and passion can make the Hangang sunsets even more beautiful."
