Yongin City "Seeking Candidates for Craft Masters and Cultural Awards Who Elevated the City's Status"

Applications accepted until the 9th of next month
Awards to be presented on Yongin Citizens' Day

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province is recruiting candidates for 'Master Craftsman' and 'Cultural Award' for local artists who have elevated the city's status until the 9th of next month.

The 'Master Craftsman' is selected from citizens who have been active for more than 20 years in six fields including pottery, metal, jewelry, wood and stone crafts, textiles, and paper, and have lived in the region for more than 5 years. The city will conduct a first-round evaluation based on expertise, skill proficiency, and work quality, and hold the Yongin City Master Craftsman Evaluation Committee in July to select one awardee. The selected artist will receive the title of 'Yongin City Master Craftsman' along with a plaque, a certificate of mastery, and a prize of 10 million KRW.

For the 'Cultural Award,' candidates are citizens who have enhanced the status of Yongin as a cultural city in seven fields: academia, culture, arts, education, community service, sports, and tourism. They must have been registered residents of the city for more than 3 years as of the announcement date or have Yongin as their registered domicile in the family relations registry. The Yongin City Cultural Award Evaluation Committee will be held in June to select one person per category.

The award ceremony for the selected Master Craftsman and Cultural Award recipients will be held at the '30th Yongin Citizens' Day' commemorative event in September. Candidates can download the relevant documents from the Yongin City website, fill them out, and submit them to each district office or eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare center. Recommendations from heads of related organizations or groups are required for each category upon application. For more details, please contact the city's Culture and Arts Division.
