From the 3rd to the 20th, the "1st Emart Mall Design Contest" will be held. The theme is selected as SSG Delivery's SSG Sketchbook, and designs applicable to SSG Delivery, SSG.com’s same-day time-slot designated delivery service, are being solicited. The design themes are threefold: characters, SSG Delivery, and grocery shopping. Participants are encouraged to create a Hobanjang character born in the Year of the Tiger using the existing character named after Emart Mall’s representative special price corner Obanjang, freely express elements related to SSG Delivery, or draw products preferred by the MZ generation (Millennials + Generation Z).

The contest is open-format so anyone can easily submit ideas, and winners will be selected by a judging committee composed of SSG.com employees and external environmental experts. The judging criteria include feasibility, creativity, suitability, and expected effect.
