The Organic and Antibiotic-Free Livestock Awards is an event that recognizes outstanding farms and companies practicing eco-friendly livestock farming to promote enthusiasm for sustainable livestock industry development.

The award targets include certified organic and antibiotic-free livestock farms, certified handlers of organic and antibiotic-free livestock products, certified organic processed food companies, certified non-edible organic processed product companies, and companies producing livestock materials with no detection of antibiotics or pesticide residues. The award categories were divided into large livestock (Hanwoo, dairy), medium livestock (pigs, dairy goats, heukyeomso), small livestock (layers, broilers, ducks), livestock product distribution, and livestock materials.

The selection of awardees was conducted through thorough verification. This included document reviews proving expertise such as sales performance, certificates, test reports, licenses, and training completion certificates, as well as assessments of community contribution, on-site inspections of workplaces, and facility evaluations.
