Things to Do in Suncheon: Go, See, Cut, and Fix (GabojaGO)

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 3rd that it will hold the 'Suncheon GabojaGO' National Youth Video Contest for youth nationwide.

The city is hosting this contest to discover Suncheon's pride from the perspective of the MZ generation youth, who are familiar with the digital environment, quickly adapt to the latest trends, and seek unique experiences, in line with the changing tourism trends in the post-COVID-19 era.

The video contest is open to all youth nationwide (excluding elementary school students), who can participate by producing and submitting creative works within 3 minutes, such as advertisements or documentaries that showcase Suncheon's hidden charms.

The contest content can be videos that uniquely express Suncheon's history, culture, and tourist attractions as perceived by youth, or lively videos featuring things to enjoy, sights to see, and food to eat.

Participants must form teams of 2 to 5 members, not individuals, and submit their video files via email to the Suncheon City Tourism Division between the 7th and 24th of next month.

In July, the city plans to select 13 winning works through judging based on creativity, completeness, and popularity, and award a total prize of approximately 4.4 million KRW.

A Suncheon City official said, "We planned this contest to discover hidden tourist resources in Suncheon and contribute to enhancing the creativity of youth by holding a national youth video contest." He added, "We hope for much interest and participation from youth nationwide in this contest."
