Gyeonggi Agricultural Research and Extension Services to Hold Companion Plant Ideas Contest on October 10
Gyeonggi Province will hold a companion plant ideas contest.
Gyeonggi Agricultural Research and Extension Services announced on October 8 that it will hold the 2026 Companion Plant Ideas Contest on October 10 at Dongtan Lake Park in Hwaseong, with 20 residents from 20 cities and counties taking part. The contest will showcase participants' ability to create indoor environments using companion plants. The entries will be on display for two days, from October 10 to 11.
Participants will create works on site in sizes suitable for indoor use, then give a two-minute explanation of their work and answer questions from the judges for one minute.
Internal and external judges will assess each entry across six criteria: artistic merit, plant selection, creativity, practicality, spatial design, and potential for wider adoption. One entry each will receive the grand prize, first prize, and excellence award, along with a certificate from the Governor of Gyeonggi Province. The awards ceremony will also recognize the winners of the 2026 Healing Agriculture and Rural Experience Learning Program Contest.
