Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education Hosts 'Gender Equality Content' Contest

Short-form or Webtoon Submissions Accepted Until August 18

The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 17th that it will hold a ‘Gender Equality Content (Short-form & Webtoon) Contest’ for students and teachers.

The contest focuses on themes of ‘spreading awareness of gender equality’ and ‘eradicating digital sex crimes’ by breaking gender-discriminatory elements and gender stereotypes. Through this, it aims to expand gender equality awareness among school members.

The contest categories include webtoons with 4 to 10 panels or short-form videos (video content of short length) lasting between 30 seconds and 1 minute. The format is designed to be easily accessible and producible by students to increase participation and effectiveness.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form from the Office of Education’s website announcement and sending the work file via e-mail. A total of 10 outstanding works (individuals or teams) will receive the Superintendent’s Commendation along with prizes (cultural gift certificates) such as Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards.

The results will be announced in early September on the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education’s website.

The selected works will be used as educational materials for gender equality through exhibitions and promotions during Gender Equality Week in September.

Superintendent Lee Jeong-seon said, “I hope this becomes an opportunity to improve awareness of gender equality and for the consciousness of gender equality, based on respect for human rights in daily life, to naturally permeate.”
