'Receipt of Nomination Letters for National Heritage Protection Merit Award Candidates'

Winner Selection Through Public Verification

The Cultural Heritage Administration is accepting nominations for the 'National Heritage Protection Merit Awards' until the 29th of next month. This government award, established in 2004, aims to enhance pride in our national heritage. It honors individuals who have quietly dedicated themselves at national heritage sites by awarding the highest honors, including medals, presidential citations, and prime ministerial citations.

The candidates are broadly categorized into three groups: ▲ Strengthening future capabilities in line with the transition to a future-oriented national heritage management system ▲ Contributions to the globalization of national heritage ▲ Dedication in the fields of preservation, management, and utilization of national heritage. Nomination forms and consent forms for the government awards can be downloaded from the Cultural Heritage Administration website and submitted in person or by mail.

Starting in August, the Cultural Heritage Administration will verify various restrictions and merits of the candidates with a panel of external experts. Based on this, a public verification process will be conducted to select the final awardees. The award ceremony will be held on 'National Heritage Day (December 9),' established to promote public understanding and awareness of heritage protection.
