Gyeonggi Province Holds SNS Participation Event Through Representative Symbols for Communication...Open to All Citizens Nationwide

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hoon Reporter] Gyeonggi Province will conduct a social media (SNS) participation event for 5 weeks from the 18th to the 21st of next month, communicating with Gyeonggi residents and all those who love Gyeonggi Province through its representative symbols.

The event will be held across two categories.

The first event is "Finding Gyeonggi Province's Representative Symbols in My Daily Life," where participants photograph the representative symbols of Gyeonggi Province encountered in their everyday lives and post them on their Instagram channels.

The second event is "Meeting the Values of Gyeonggi Province's Representative Symbols," where participants post photos and captions expressing their thoughts about the three values represented by the representative symbols—"fairness," "possibility," and "diversity"—on their Instagram channels.

For the "Finding Gyeonggi Province's Representative Symbols in My Daily Life" event, participants can take photos of representative symbols found around them such as road signs and outdoor advertisements, and post them on their Instagram channels with tags of the operating office's Instagram account (@ggdcontest_event), #Gyeonggi Province representative symbols, and #Finding representative symbols in my daily life hashtags.

Each week, 100 first-come, first-served participants will be selected, and gift certificates will be provided to 500 people in total.

For the "Meeting the Values of Gyeonggi Province's Representative Symbols" event, participants can post photos (or images) and captions expressing their thoughts on one of the three values—"fairness," "possibility," or "diversity"—along with one selected from #fairness·possibility·diversity, #Gyeonggi Province representative symbols, and #Meeting representative symbol values hashtags on their Instagram channels.

Each week, 20 first-come, first-served participants will be selected, and gift certificates will be distributed to 100 people in total.

Gyeonggi Province's representative symbols are composed of the initials G, G, D (representing the Korean consonants ㄱ, ㄱ, ㄷ of "Gyeonggi-do"). The first "G" represents Gyeonggi Province advancing toward a prosperous future based on the value of fairness, the second "G" represents Gyeonggi Province creating possibilities for a greater future, and "D" represents Gyeonggi Province where diverse ways of life coexist.

To provide greater benefits to event participants, the province will conduct a second prize drawing for those who maintain their posts through the end of the 5-week event period.

Participants who enter either of the two events are eligible for the drawing, and a total of 8 winners—4 per event—will receive iPad Airs, Apple Watches, AirPods Pro, and Nespresso capsule machines.

Details regarding the event can be found on the Gyeonggi Province Representative Symbols Content Contest website (www.ggdcontest.com) and the operating office's Instagram account (@ggdcontest_event).

Lee Gang-hee, Gyeonggi Province's Public Relations and Content Director, stated, "We hope that through this SNS event featuring Gyeonggi Province's representative symbols, more people will feel the symbols that exist in their daily lives," adding, "We will do our best to promote these representative symbols so that residents come to cherish and feel familiar with them."

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province is also separately conducting the "Gyeonggi Province Representative Symbols Content Contest" through November 15th, using the representative symbols to express diverse aspects and daily life of Gyeonggi Province. The competition categories are design and video, with a total of 17 works to be selected and total prize money of 25.9 million won.
