The Mokpo Music Picnic accepts applications from the first 40 teams by May 16 without any separate screening to remove participation barriers for citizens. Anyone interested in music who is a citizen of Mokpo can participate as long as they do not violate the purpose or eligibility of the performance.

The recruitment fields include music suitable for street performances such as singing and instrumental performances. Participants will be provided with stage equipment such as microphones and amplifiers, as well as a small activity fee.

Applicants must have at least one member with a registered address in Mokpo City as of the announcement date, and anyone who can perform within 7 minutes in the designated outdoor space can apply. There is no limit on the number of members per team.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form from the Mokpo City website and sending it via email or visiting the Culture and Arts Division of the City Hall.

A city official said, “We plan to provide opportunities for citizens to participate in culture and arts and create a place where citizens can directly organize and enjoy. We look forward to the enthusiastic participation of Mokpo citizens.”
