Ansan City to Incorporate University Students' Ideas into Municipal Policies... "Idea Contest" Announced
On August 25, Ansan City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it will host the "2025 University Student Idea Contest" until September 11, aiming to incorporate creative and sustainable development ideas from university students into municipal policies.
This contest, organized in collaboration with the Ansan Sustainable Development Council, was established to reflect university students' urban development ideas in city administration, following the selection of the Ansan Line subway underground project as a priority initiative by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in February.
The contest topics include the city's development tasks such as: ▲People·Communication ▲Development·Growth ▲Culture·Tourism ▲Environment·Safety ▲Welfare·Inclusion ▲Future·Fostering. Applicants can choose one of these topics and fill out the application form in connection with the Sustainable Development Goals (K-SDGs) presented in the announcement.
Any university student under the age of 39 (including students on leave and graduate students) may participate individually or as a team. Students enrolled in vocational competency development institutions operating associate degree or higher programs through the Academic Credit Bank System, as defined in Article 3, Clause 5 of the Enforcement Decree of the Academic Credit Recognition Act, are also eligible to participate.
The city will select a total of six teams through document and presentation reviews, awarding the following prizes: ▲Grand Prize (1 team): 2 million KRW ▲Excellence Award (2 teams): 1 million KRW each ▲Encouragement Award (3 teams): 300,000 KRW each. At the award ceremony, the Mayor of Ansan will present official commendations and additional prizes.
