Gyeonggi Province Supports Healthy Gaming Community Activities...Contributing to Ecosystem and Local Culture Formation

[Suwon Ilbo=Park Nohoon Reporter] Gyeonggi Province is launching a gaming community support project within the province.

To this end, the province and Gyeonggi Content Promotion Agency are recruiting participating organizations for the '2022 Game Community Activity Support' through the 25th.

According to the province on the 15th, the 'Gyeonggi Game Community Activity Support' is a project that supports gaming communities within Gyeonggi Province and related cultural activities through the Gyeonggi Game Culture Center.

Any organization in Gyeonggi Province capable of issuing a business registration certificate or unique identification number can apply.

However, subordinate organizations such as school clubs and in-house meetings may submit an activity certificate issued by the parent institution as a replacement.

This recruitment is divided into game usage activities and game culture activities.

The 'game usage' category targets official activities where people directly enjoy games, such as e-sports competitions and board game tournaments, while the 'game culture' category targets related cultural events such as performances and broadcasts themed around games.

The support scale covers a total of 10 teams, with activity support funds provided at approximately 5 million won per team.

However, organizations that include plans for using Gyeonggi Game Culture Center space in their application can receive up to 10 million won in support.

Organizations wishing to apply for this recruitment should check the contents through the business announcement on the Gyeonggi Game Culture Center website (www.gcon.or.kr/gcc), then submit the application form and all required documents via email to the project manager.

Organizations related to religion or political parties cannot apply.

Additionally, even if activities are themed around games, those with the nature of promoting specific companies or products will be excluded from support eligibility.

First-stage eligibility screening will be conducted for all applicants, followed by second-stage expert panel review. The final selected organizations will be announced on the Gyeonggi Content Promotion Agency website (www.gcon.or.kr) on May 3rd.

Park Jong-il, Director of Future Industry at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We will support healthy gaming meetings to promote the development of local communities," and added, "We will continue to provide support and attention to various region-based cultural activities."
