This contest was organized to expand the use of 'Uidoli & Rangi', for which the grounds for exemption from usage fees were established through the revision of the 'Uijeongbu City Symbol Management Ordinance' this year, and to revitalize the local commercial district. A total of 49 products were submitted, covering a variety of categories such as stationery, desserts, and household goods.

The city selected a total of 13 works based on criteria such as marketability, sales potential, design, and overall quality through the judging process.

The selected works will be featured in an 'online popularity vote' on the city's official Instagram account starting on the 28th. The final winners will be chosen based on a combination of voting and judging results, and the awardees will receive various forms of support, including interviews in the city newsletter, the production of social media content, and connections to the Hometown Love Donation Program.

Mayor Kim Donggeun said, "I sincerely thank everyone who showed interest in this contest and submitted their works," adding, "I expect that the character products created by citizens will enhance Uijeongbu's brand value and provide new opportunities for local small business owners."
