Ideas Short, Change Long... Yangsan City to Host 'Middle and High School Student Policy Proposal Competition'

Applications Open from September 8 to October 2
Discovering Ideas from Future Talent

Yangsan City in South Gyeongsang Province will host the 12th Yangsan City Middle and High School Student Policy Proposal Competition to encourage greater interest in municipal affairs among future leaders and to discover creative policy ideas from middle and high school students.

Students wishing to participate can form teams of two to five members from local middle and high schools and submit policy proposals that align with the 30th anniversary of Yangsan’s elevation to city status and the “Year of Visiting Yangsan.” Proposals must be submitted between September 8 and October 2.

This year’s competition introduces a short-form video submission format, allowing students to express their policy ideas more freely and creatively. Application and proposal forms can be downloaded from the Yangsan City Hall website and submitted via email to the designated coordinator.

Winning teams will receive awards from the Mayor of Yangsan, with the grand prize (one team) receiving 1 million won, excellence awards (two teams) receiving 500,000 won each, merit awards (three teams) receiving 300,000 won each, and encouragement awards (four teams) receiving 100,000 won each. The winning entries will be selected through departmental review, online voting, and a final evaluation.

Mayor Na Dongyeon stated, “I am very pleased that students will have the opportunity to express their diverse perspectives,” adding, “I expect this competition to be the starting point for turning students’ outstanding ideas into reality.”

Further details regarding the competition can be found on the Yangsan City Hall website (Yangsan News → Notices/Announcements).
