The contest invited current and returning university students in the region to propose climate crisis response policy ideas suitable for Dongdaemun-gu, divided into policy proposal and video production categories. From October 16 to November 16, a total of 14 teams submitted proposals, and through the first document screening, three teams from each category advanced to the finals.

Additionally, singer-songwriter ‘Hyeya’ performed a congratulatory stage, singing her original song ‘What Should I Do’ and AKMU’s ‘Fry Dream,’ receiving enthusiastic responses from the participants and brightening the event atmosphere.
The final rankings were determined by combining the scores from five on-site judges and real-time online voting.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “Although we started promoting carbon neutrality policies later than Europe, seeing today’s presentations reassures me that our future generations are very interested in carbon neutrality. I thank all the teams who participated in the contest, and all proposed policies will be reviewed by the relevant departments and serve as a foundation for making ‘2050 Dongdaemun-gu Carbon Neutral Future City.’”
