The selected 10 slogans will undergo a second round of nationwide voting from the 4th to December 8th on the Yeoju City website under the Citizen Participation - Survey section, where the rankings from first to fifth place will be determined. The second round is open to all citizens, and the goal is to select three innovative expressions that promote "2025 Year of the Beginning of Tourism in Yeoju," embody the vision of "Yeoju as Korea's top tourist city where history, culture, and nature coexist," appeal to Yeoju's charm, and attract tourists' attention.
Based on the number of votes, a total of five works will be selected: one grand prize, two excellence awards, and two merit awards. The grand prize-winning slogan will be adopted as the representative slogan serving as the focal point for promoting the "2025 Year of the Beginning of Tourism in Yeoju." The total prize money amounts to 2 million KRW, with the Yeoju Sejong Cultural Tourism Foundation awarding 1 million KRW to the grand prize winner, 300,000 KRW each to the two excellence award winners, and 200,000 KRW each to the two merit award winners.
