The contest will also bestow vouchers for hotel accommodations to other awardees.

The annual event, which received entries from participants from early May through mid-July, awards people who have excelled in promoting Korea through videography and photography. The program is part of the Culture Communication Forum organized by the institute, whose president is Hankuk University of Foreign Studies professor Choi Jung-wha. 

The selection of winners was made by a panel of experts, including photographers, diplomats and public relations consultants. 

The awards ceremony will take place Aug. 29 at Grand Hyatt Seoul in the evening, where some 40 ambassadors and diplomats and 250 opinion leaders will participate. The event is organized by CICI, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korean Culture and Information Service.
