Hope Bridge to Host 2024 Character Contest

The Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (President Song Pil-ho) announced on the 23rd that it will hold the "2024 Hope Bridge Character Contest" to raise social awareness about disaster relief and to promote a culture of sharing and donation.

Anyone in the public can participate by choosing one of three themes: a character that well represents Hope Bridge's mission and values, a character that helps neighbors affected by disasters, or a character symbolizing a bridge connecting donors and disaster victims. Winners will receive plaques and certificates along with cash prizes: 2 million KRW for one Grand Prize team, 1 million KRW for one Excellence Award team, and 500,000 KRW each for two Encouragement Award teams. The character selected for the Grand Prize will be used for Hope Bridge promotions.
