The Daegu City Landscape Awards, now in its 29th year since its inception in 1995, are selected through written evaluation and on-site inspections by the Daegu City Urban Forest Establishment and Management Review Committee, targeting private landscaping projects within Daegu that have been completed in the past two years.
Ji Hyeongjae, Director of the Daegu City Environmental Water Resources Bureau, said, "The Daegu City Landscape Awards play a major role in creating new urban forests within the city, and I hope it will serve as an opportunity to widely promote various types of landscaping spaces."
