Busan Democracy Park hosts Children's Taegeukgi Drawing Contest for Liberation Day

Busan Democracy Park is holding a 'Children's Taegeukgi Drawing Contest' to commemorate Liberation Day and reflect on its meaning. The competition is open to elementary school students and teenagers of the same age.

Participants are invited to draw based on themes such as independence movements, democracy, peace and unification, citizens' lives, and imaginative drawings of the Taegeukgi (the South Korean flag) with the Democracy Park. The artwork should be on 8-k format paper, and participants must handwrite the title. Only original works will be accepted; copies or works that have won awards in other competitions will be disqualified. Each participant can submit only one artwork, and the Taegeuk symbol and the positions of the Geon, Gon, Gam, and Ri must be accurately depicted.

Submissions are accepted until July 31. Applications can be downloaded from the Democracy Park website (demopark.or.kr), and the completed application form should be attached to the back of the drawing and submitted by mail or in person. An external judging panel of at least three experts will review the works on August 15, based on theme relevance, creative expression, and artistic completion. The 97 winners, including a grand prize recipient, will be announced on August 28 via the Democracy Park website. The winning entries will be exhibited online through the Democracy Park's social media channels starting September 1.
