The contest selected the top three entrants in each category through a preliminary document review, followed by on-site presentation evaluations to determine the final awardees.

In the Smart Contents category, member Kim Sungmi received the Excellence Award for a short-form video content themed "Cheongsong Apples: Encountering New Technologies and New Varieties."
