The Chilbaekui Tomb is a nationally designated historic site commemorating the historical event during the Japanese invasions of Korea (Imjin War), in which volunteer troops and warrior monks led by militia leader Cho Heon and Monk Yeonggyu sacrificed their lives fighting against Japanese invaders.

A total of 24 winners will be selected, including ten recipients of the Grand Prize and fourteen recipients of the Excellence Prize. The award-winning works will be exhibited at the Chilbaekui Tomb Memorial Hall for one year starting in September.
