Gyeonggi Province Launches Brand Naming Contest for Suggestion System

Gyeonggi Province is launching a "Gyeonggi Province Suggestion System Brand Naming Contest" to discover an official name representing the province's suggestion system.

The province announced on the 19th that it will accept brand name submissions from February 20 to March 10 through Gyeonggi Ideas Sharing Cafe 'Twig' (http://cafe.naver.com/gideain).

The province is currently operating suggestion systems including 'National Petition Service', 'Suggestion Creation Audition', and 'Twig' to reflect residents' opinions and ideas in administrative system improvements.

This contest is being held to commemorate the province receiving a Presidential Award as the top institution selected by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for promoting suggestions last year, and aims to discover a unified brand name encompassing the three suggestion systems.

Any resident interested in Gyeonggi Province's suggestion system can participate. Participants are encouraged to submit naming suggestions related to proposals—similar to Seoul's "10 Million Dreams Oasis" suggestion system or Samsung's employee suggestion system "Mosaic"—through Twig.

The review process will consist of a first-stage evaluation by a panel of three private experts specializing in naming, followed by a second-stage vote involving 500 people including residents and civil servants. The final results will be announced in April.

The province plans to select one Grand Prize winner, three Excellence Award winners, five Encouragement Award winners, and 15 Participation Promotion Award winners, with prizes ranging from 300,000 won to 10,000 won in Onnuri gift certificates.
