"The Line of Diversity, Don’t Draw It, Connect It" is a video created using hand-drawn illustrations, conveying the message that if our society does not draw lines but connects each other in the presence of migrants and diversity, we can create a future of living together.

The poster grand prize was awarded to a 3rd-grade student from Mangwol Elementary School in Hanam City. "Different Roots, But We Are Friends" expresses through hand-drawn pictures that although friends from abroad have different roots, living together in Korea now means they are all friends without discrimination, and was praised for its clear communication of the theme.

Kim Won-gyu, Director of the Immigration and Society Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, said, “We hope this contest will serve as an important opportunity to respect the rights of migrant workers and strengthen the diversity of local communities,” adding, “Gyeonggi Province will continue various efforts to create an inclusive society for migrant workers.”
