Seongju County said it held the 2026 Proposal Review Committee meeting at the county office's Cultural Lecture Room on November 10 and made a final selection of two outstanding proposals from its county development ideas contest.

The contest received a total of 64 ideas from residents and public officials between October 1 and 14. A final review was conducted of the six proposals selected in the first-round working-level review.

The top prize went to “Producing and Distributing Paper Sun Visors Featuring Festival Leaflets.” The excellence prize went to “Enacting an Ordinance and Supporting Commercialization to Promote the Use of Chambyeoli, Seongju County's Representative Character.”

Winners will receive prize money based on their award category: 700,000 won for the top prize and 300,000 won for the excellence prize.

Deputy County Governor Yoon Hong Huh said, “The ideas of residents and public officials reflect their hopes for Seongju's future and its potential for development. We will promote the proposal system so that outstanding ideas can be incorporated into actual county policies.”

Small ideas can be the starting point for change in local administration. Seongju County's administrative innovation will depend on its ability to turn outstanding proposals into actual policies and projects, rather than stopping at selecting winners.
