Suncheon-gun is holding the '2025 Suncheon-gun Reading Culture Promotion Contest' to spread reading culture and enhance reading expression skills. The application period is until August 22.

This contest, with the theme 'Reflecting Myself in a Book,' will be conducted in two categories: △Handwritten Letter Writing Section (Reflecting Books, Hearts) △Reading Photo Section (Reflecting Books, Time), and anyone nationwide can participate.

The Handwritten Letter section is divided into elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as a general section. Participants can write a letter to a character in the book 'Seolgongchanjeon,' and submit it directly to the Suncheon Municipal Library or by mail. The Reading Photo section requires participants to take a photo of a moment with a book in various places such as libraries, bookstores, and travel destinations, and submit it via email.

Awards will be given separately for each section, with a total of 12 winners in the Handwritten Letter section (1 grand prize, 2 excellence awards, 3 encouragement awards each) and 6 winners in the Reading Photo section (following the same criteria), receiving a total prize of 3 million won.

An official from the county expressed hope that the contest would be an opportunity for reading to become a part of daily life and urged the public to show interest and participate.
