The Uijeongbu City Culture Award is presented annually in five categories (▲Academics·Education ▲Culture·Arts ▲Sports Promotion ▲Service and Filial Piety ▲Regional Development) to honor individuals who have enhanced the city's reputation and made significant contributions to the development of the local community.

The award recipients, selected through a rigorous screening process among the nominated candidates, will be honored at the 54th Citizens' Day Commemoration Ceremony in October.

Applicants must submit a letter of recommendation from an authorized recommender in the relevant field, or a recommendation form signed by at least 50 citizens who are registered residents of Uijeongbu City as of the announcement date, along with supporting documents, to the Uijeongbu City Department of Culture and Arts. However, past recipients of the Culture Award or individuals who have caused social controversy are excluded from nomination.

Mayor Kim Donggeun stated, "The Uijeongbu City Culture Award is a meaningful honor that raises cultural pride and widely recognizes individuals who serve as role models in the community," and added, "I hope many people will show interest and submit recommendations so that citizens who have quietly dedicated themselves in various fields can be discovered."
