This contest was conducted to develop tourism souvenirs representing Paju, a world-renowned cultural tourism city, with a total of 29 entries submitted for judging. The city selected five winning works based on marketability, symbolism, design, and quality.
The grand prize winner was the 'Jangdan Sambek Natural Soap Set,' made from Paju's representative local specialties: Hansuui rice, Jangdan soybeans, and Kaesong ginseng. The gold prize went to 'Paju Jangdan Soybean Drip Bag Coffee,' a blend of Jangdan soybeans and coffee.
Three works received the silver prize: ▲ 'DMZ Magnolia Flower Tea,' made from magnolia flowers grown in the clean area of the DMZ ▲ a T-shirt themed on Paju titled 'Paju, In My Embrace' ▲ and the 'Paju Embracing Peace and Soaring' tea cup set, which depicts barbed wire and green leaves symbolizing peace blossoming beneath the armistice line.
The winners will receive a total prize money of 4 million KRW, with 1.5 million KRW for the grand prize, 1 million KRW for the gold prize, and 500,000 KRW each for the silver prizes.
