Jeonnam Province is holding a naming contest for the "Swaying Aluminum Panels," which will serve as the core symbol of the Namdo Righteous Army History Museum, scheduled to open in March next year. The contest will run until the 24th.

The "Swaying Aluminum Panels," numbering over 33,000 and installed on the outer wall of the museum overlooking the Yeongsan River, symbolize the spirit and sacrifice of the Namdo Righteous Army, who rose up resolutely whenever the nation was in crisis. The panels sway in the wind, embodying this legacy.

Anyone interested in the Namdo Righteous Army and its history can participate. Submissions can be made through the "Communication Jeonnam Survey Plaza" on the Jeonnam Province website until the 24th. The winning entry will be announced on the Jeonnam Province website in November. The selected name will be used as the official designation for the symbolic installation on the museum's exterior.

Jeonnam Province will select a total of three outstanding entries, awarding the Governor's Certificate and commemorative gifts. The award ceremony is planned to take place at the Namdo Righteous Army History Museum's opening ceremony in March 2026.

Park Junghwan, head of the Namdo Righteous Army History Museum Opening Preparation Team, stated, "The symbolic installation that sways in the wind will serve as a reminder to future generations of the noble spirit of the Namdo Righteous Army, who resisted violence from foreign invaders. We hope a name that resonates with everyone will be chosen."
