Each person can submit up to two entries, and to assist with naming, applicants can refer to the Women’s Center operation plan and briefing video attached in the website notice.

The district will select a friendly and distinctive name that fits the purpose and characteristics of the Women’s Center based on representativeness, creativity, and intimacy.

The grand prize winner will receive a traditional market gift certificate worth 300,000 KRW, two excellence award winners will each receive 150,000 KRW, and two encouragement award winners will each receive 50,000 KRW worth of traditional market gift certificates.
