Gyeonggi Province accepts proposals for the resident participation budget year-round, but announced on the 9th that it will focus on receiving proposals until April 6 to reflect them in next year's budget.
Resident proposed projects are categorized into three types: ▲Provincial government participation type ▲Regional support type ▲Public-private cooperation type, with up to 50 billion KRW allocated to next year's resident participation budget.
The provincial government participation type includes projects under the jurisdiction of the province or projects implemented across two or more cities/counties.

Residents wishing to propose projects can apply through the Gyeonggi Province Resident Participation Budget website (yesan.gg.go.kr) or participate by submitting a project application form via email, postal mail, or other methods.
Gyeonggi Province will draw 100 proposers by lottery to receive mobile gift certificates worth approximately 10,000 KRW, and selected proposals will be awarded prize money worth approximately 100,000 KRW.
Outstanding proposers will also receive a commendation from the Governor.

He added, "We ask for continued interest and participation so that the budget can be allocated to places where residents truly need it."
