The 9th Kyobo Handwriting Contest Receives Record High 14,700 Entries
Kyobo Book Centre, Daesan Cultural Foundation, and Kyobo Life Insurance jointly hosted the Kyobo Handwriting Contest, which received over 14,700 entries, setting a record high. This figure is more than double that of the previous year, surpassing the previous record of 9,340 entries in 2022.
By category, approximately 4,700 entries were submitted in the children’s division and about 5,100 in the youth division, marking an 80% increase compared to the previous year. The rise is attributed to an increase in group participants mainly from elementary, middle, and high schools.
The winners will be announced in mid-September. The winning works will be exhibited at the Kyobo Book Centre Gwanghwamun branch and on the Kyobo Book Centre online bookstore. The awards ceremony will be held in early October. Among the winners, one will be selected to have their handwriting turned into a font, which will be distributed for free.
