Gyeonggi Province Calls for Policy Proposal Ideas from the General Public for "Opportunity Gyeonggi"

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hoon Reporter] Gyeonggi Province is launching a drive to collect policy proposal ideas from the general public.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 30th that it will conduct the "2nd Opportunity Gyeonggi Proposal Contest 2022" through the 25th of next month.

The theme of this proposal contest is "If I Were the Gyeonggi Provincial Governor," inviting participants to freely propose various policies they wish to implement in Gyeonggi Province administration after assuming office as provincial governor.

However, proposals must be creative and concretely feasible ideas, not general or theoretical problem-raising statements, simple opinions, or suggestions.

All residents of Gyeonggi Province as well as citizens from any region nationwide can participate in the contest.

The three final winners will receive provincial governor commendations along with prize money totaling 15 million won, with first place receiving up to 10 million won.

Submitted proposals will go through preliminary screening and expert review, with winning entries decided through an open final evaluation scheduled for late November.

The open evaluation will reflect opinions from online surveys (10%), audience evaluation panels (30%), and expert review panels (60%).

Participation is available through "Voice of Gyeonggi" (vog.gg.go.kr) and the National Ombudsman's "Public Idea Proposals" section.

For more details, visit the Gyeonggi Province website (gg.go.kr) notices and announcements, Voice of Gyeonggi, or contact the Vision Strategy Division Proposal System Team at Gyeonggi Province Government (031-8008-2576).

Meanwhile, at the 1st Opportunity Gyeonggi Proposal Contest held in July, the proposal "Creating Consideration Environments for Transportation-Disadvantaged Users in Parks and Camping Facilities" won first place in the general category.

The proposal has been reflected in the Urban Forest Remodeling Project, a municipal and county support initiative, and the province is promoting local government outreach to install tables that can be used by mobility-challenged park visitors.
