This contest aims to increase the interest of public officials in generative AI technology and help them develop practical skills for its use in administrative settings. In particular, it will be conducted as a participatory contest based on practical education and hands-on experience, in line with the digital transformation trend, to strengthen the organization’s overall responsiveness.

The contest will run until the 28th, and any public official can participate by submitting an AI-based video on topics such as major initiatives, new policies, or cultural and tourism promotion for Jeongseon County.

Entries can focus on current county issues such as basic income for rural residents, the early construction of the South-North Axis Expressway, globalization of Arirang, inclusion of the KTX Pyeongchang-Jeongseon single-track railway, and the creation of the Gariwangsan National Garden. Videos may also utilize regional tourism content, including Jeongseon Arirang, the Sumano Pagoda at Jeongamsa Temple, the Jeongseon City Tour, and the Gariwangsan Cable Car.

The county expects that this contest will lead to a tangible improvement in public officials’ ability to use generative AI and uncover creative cases that can be immediately applied in the administrative field.

Outstanding works will be screened and posted on the main office lobby screen and internal bulletin boards so that all employees can share them, with the aim of naturally spreading a culture of AI utilization.

Park Ikkyun, Director of General Administration at Jeongseon County, said, "Generative AI is becoming a core tool for increasing the speed and quality of administration," adding, "Through this contest, I hope employees will become familiar with the latest technology and create practical cases of work innovation."
