▲ (Photo category) Positive images of elderly living alone, healthy and happy elderly, or happy scenes of 1 to 3 generations together ▲ (Drawing category) Happy memories of the elderly ▲ (Social Network Service (SNS) content category) Improving awareness of elderly living alone ▲ (Handwritten letter (postcard) category) ① Messages to myself 30 years from now ② Messages to myself 30 years ago ▲ (N-acrostic poem category) ① The past me ② The future me ③ The together us.

Any Busan citizen can participate, and a total of 44 works will be selected and awarded, including grand prizes, excellence awards, and encouragement prizes for each category.

However, for the drawing category, students from 1st to 2nd grade in elementary school are limited to drawing diaries, and students from 3rd to 6th grade are limited to drawings.
