The ‘Proud Gwangyangian Award’ is awarded to those who have demonstrated outstanding abilities in various fields such as culture, tourism, science, industry, and economy, contributing to national and social development and bringing honor to the city as individuals originally from Gwangyang but now residing elsewhere.

The awardees will be selected by the mayor from among the candidates chosen through a rigorous review by the judging committee in September, and the awards will be presented at the ‘2023 Citizen’s Day Commemoration Ceremony’ held on October 6.

Jang Min-seok, Director of the General Affairs Division, said, “We hope many people will show interest so that those who have contributed to illuminating Gwangyang can receive the honor of the award.”
