This nationwide promotional video contest was organized by the Korea Local Tax Research Institute to enhance public understanding and interest in local taxes and finance. A total of 12 winning entries were selected through a three-stage review process that included evaluations by the responsible department, expert assessments, and online reactions. Despite intense competition, the city received the Grand Prize for its creative planning and high level of completion.

The entry submitted by the city, titled "I'm Electronic Notification, You're Paper Notification," was produced through collaboration between the Taxation Division and the Citizen Communication Division. The head of the Taxation Division and staff members appeared in the video themselves, humorously contrasting the methods of local tax notification. The work received high marks in all evaluation categories, including relevance to the theme, creativity, and effectiveness of delivery.

Lee Gyojae, Head of the Taxation Division, said, "I sincerely thank the citizens who showed great interest in short-form video promotions," and added, "We will continue to promote the activation of electronic notifications to reduce administrative costs associated with mailing paper notifications and to enhance taxpayer convenience."
