The contest fields are ▲ Regional Cultural Content Discovery ▲ Online Content Discovery ▲ Lifestyle Culture Revitalization ▲ Cultural Playground ▲ Intangible Cultural Heritage Revitalization, totaling five fields.

In addition, to activate the activities of holders of national and provincial intangible cultural heritage (including groups) active in the region, educational programs, convergence, complex, and joint programs will be supported.

Groups selected in this contest project will receive various project support related to project promotion, such as understanding the cultural city creation project and subsidy project execution standards, through the Jinju Cultural City Support Center.

Meanwhile, to activate mediation projects between cultural artists and cultural planners, the city is currently collaborating with the Jinju Cultural City Support Center to open a citizen culture school course and is promoting a cultural planner training project consisting of three courses. The Cultural City Support Center plans to discover and train cultural planners throughout the year and support cultural mediation projects.
