KCC Selects 'Mom's Resume' for '2022 Viewer Media Awards'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] The Korea Communications Commission announced on the 8th that 'Mom's Self-Introduction Letter' was selected as the winner of the '2022 Viewer Media Awards.'

On the same day at 2 p.m., the KCC held the '2022 Viewer Media Awards' ceremony at the Incheon Viewer Media Center.

From July to September, the KCC received a total of 290 entries through a call for submissions. Among these, after preliminary and final rounds as well as public participation judging, one Grand Prize (Prime Minister's Award), five Excellence Awards (Chairman of the Korea Communications Commission Award), and 19 awards including Merit and Encouragement Awards (such as the Korea Broadcasting Association President's Award) were selected and presented.

This year's Grand Prize winner, 'Mom's Self-Introduction Letter,' depicts a woman who, after childbirth, was only called someone's 'mom,' regaining her lost self through a self-introduction letter. The work was praised for its thematic awareness, direction, and planning skills.

In the thematic video (environment) category, 'Clothes That Can Only Be Changed After Waiting 100 Years,' which raised public awareness of wildfire damage and forest restoration, received the award. In the special award category, the organization 'Cheongsonyeon News LIVE,' which contributed to creating opportunities for youth participation in broadcasting and society, was honored.

The 'Viewer Media Awards' is an event established to discover and encourage creative works produced by viewers. Since its first event in 2015, this year marks its 8th edition.
