Co-hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Lighting Museum, this contest was organized to raise social awareness about the role of artificial lighting and light pollution from various perspectives. The theme was ‘Light of Pollution, Light of Life, Light of Civilization,’ and submissions included photos and UCC·Shorts videos.

Yang Seok-hee and Kim Do-yeon shared their thoughts, saying, “We wanted to convey a message about the various aspects of artificial lighting that have emerged alongside the development of modern civilization and how it can be used more beneficially. While filming numerous artificial lights, we observed both the light pollution and the benefits it provides to humans. We hope many people take a moment to reflect on the meaning and value of artificial lighting, which we encounter so naturally in our daily lives.”
