The Korea Ceramic Foundation is accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis from the 10th to the 29th of this month for participants in the "9th Beautiful Our Ceramics Writing and Drawing Contest," which will be held on November 6th at the Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum.

The Beautiful Our Ceramics Writing and Drawing Contest is a competition where elementary and middle school students nationwide freely express the culture and history embodied in our ceramics through writing and drawing, showcasing their skills. It began in 2015 and is held annually at the Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum. The event is designed to inform and broaden the understanding of our ceramic culture and history among children and youth, the future generation. Notably, this year's contest will be held on-site for the first time in four years since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The contest categories are drawing and writing & drawing (poetry and painting). The drawing category is open to 300 elementary school students, and the writing & drawing category to 150 middle school students. Anyone who is an elementary or middle school student, or of the same age, can participate, and there is no participation fee.

On the day of the contest, participants will observe artifacts displayed at the Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum that correspond to the announced theme during the opening ceremony, understand them, and express their impressions on the provided drawing paper. There are no restrictions on drawing tools; participants may freely use any materials they bring, such as paint, crayons, or pastels.

Those wishing to participate can apply by visiting the Korea Ceramic Foundation website.
