The Grand Prize was awarded to the team of Kim Junwoo, Eom Jihyun, Bae Yubin, Park Seungjin, and Yoon Junghoo for their project, "GIS-Based Pedestrian Psychological Distance and Crowd Avoidance Path Model." The research team implemented a GIS model to show how pedestrians perceive space and avoid crowds, earning high praise for its potential to improve urban walking environments.

The Excellence Award went to Ko Haneul for the project, "Optimal Site Analysis for Wind Power Generation in Yeongam County." The project received high marks for its precise GIS analysis of environmental, topographical, and regulatory factors, offering a scientific basis for selecting eco-friendly energy sites.

The Encouragement Award was given to Park Yeji, Lee Juyeon, and Kim Seohae for their study, "Research on Solving Waste Problems at Outdoor Events." By using geospatial simulation to analyze waste generation patterns at event venues, the team proposed efficient waste collection strategies.

A representative from the Department of Geomatics at Mokpo National University stated, "The results of our practice-oriented GIS and geospatial information convergence education have been recognized nationwide," adding, "We will continue to foster professional talent by expanding industry-academic cooperation and problem-solving project-based education."
