BNK Busan Bank will create the new name for its women's professional basketball team together with local citizens.
Starting July 2 and running through July 18, Busan Bank announced it will hold the 'BNK Women's Professional Basketball Team Naming Contest' to find a team name that reflects the region's identity and affection.
This contest, held under the slogan 'One Team, One Name,' aims to establish the team's identity together with citizens. Anyone can participate, and entries can be submitted through the team's official website.
A total of 13 winners will be selected: ▲ Grand Prize for 1 person (prize money of 5 million won and two season tickets), ▲ Excellence Prize for 2 people (1 million won each and two season tickets per person), and ▲ Encouragement Prize for 10 people (300,000 won each). The winning entries will be announced on the team's website in August.
The final team name will be confirmed after review by an external branding agency and will be officially used starting with the 2025-2026 regular season.
Kim Yongkyu, Head of the Management Strategy Group at BNK Busan Bank, said, "This naming contest carries symbolic meaning as a basketball team created together with the local community," and added, "We hope that the creative ideas from citizens and basketball fans will serve as a foundation for establishing the team's identity."
