Suwon to Host 'Suwon Citizens' Idea Contest Midterm Presentation' on 26th

[Suwon Ilbo=Seo Dong-young] Suwon City will hold the '2019 Suwon Citizens' Idea Contest Midterm Presentation' on the 26th at 2 p.m. in the conference room of the Suwon Sustainable Development Council (1st floor of Deoham Park).

The Suwon Citizens' Idea Contest, now in its 10th year, is a project where citizens propose public interest ideas and implement them directly with the city's support. The city hosts the event, and Suwon YMCA and Suwon Civil Society Organizations Council oversee it.

With the theme of 'Everything that can change Suwon and our lives, brilliant ideas toward a greater Suwon,' a total of 98 ideas were submitted from August 12 to September 22. The ideas from 10 teams that passed the first document review will be presented at the midterm presentation.

After presenting their ideas, the 10 teams will discuss ways to increase the feasibility of their ideas with experts from related civic organizations and public institutions in attendance.

Any interested citizen can participate in the midterm presentation as part of the 'citizen audience.' In the second round of judging, 4 finalist teams will be selected by reflecting team discussions and the results of audience preference surveys. Finalist teams will be given a 5-week opportunity to implement their ideas. The final rankings will then be determined. The Suwon Citizens' Idea Contest final competition will be held on December 21.
