In keeping with the theme of the official CI contest, "A New Face Made by Our Own Hands," which runs until August 19, the scope of recruitment has been significantly expanded to include not only experts in the relevant field but also ordinary citizens.

The number of people to be recruited is up to 20 judges and up to 9 advisory committee members. Eligibility requirements include: ▲ Experts in fields related to CI development such as education, visual design, philosophy, urban planning, or public relations and marketing ▲ Nominees recommended by local governmental bodies (city, county, district), social organizations, or institutions in the Jeonnam Gwangju area ▲ Employees of the unified office of education ▲ Citizens of the Jeonnam Gwangju Unified Special City with an interest in CI.

However, to ensure fairness in the judging process, interested parties such as relatives of the applicants will be excluded from eligibility. Those wishing to participate must submit an application form, consent to the collection and use of personal information, and proof of experience by midnight on August 23, either by official letter or by email to the person in charge. In the case of institutional recommendations, the official letter can be used as proof of experience.

The unified office of education will select preliminary committee members through a document review, and the final results will be individually notified within July. Appointed judges will review entries submitted both online and offline, while advisory committee members will provide expert advice on the top three entries shortlisted by the panel of judges. Afterward, based on this advisory input, the unified office will refine the design and finalize the official CI in November through a citizen vote.

Head of Public Relations Kang Seonggeun stated, "The official CI is an important face symbolizing the vision and identity of the unified office of education," adding, "We hope for active interest and participation so that a CI embodying both professionalism and fairness, as well as citizens' input, can be selected."
