[License(Character)] 1,007 Submissions for Korea Story Competition
Published on | Source
Ideas put forward by a diverse group of storytellers
The Korea Story Competition, the first project of the Korea New Story Creation, accepted numerous submissions amid widespread national interest.
On February 2, Korea Creative Content Agency (President & CEO Lee Jae-woong) announced that the Korea Story Competition had received a total of 1,007 story submissions.
This competition attracted a diverse group of storytellers of all ages from students to professional writers in all fields including drama, film and animation. The submissions range from a work filled with complicated formulas and phrases in the style of genius poet Yi Sang at the end of Chosun Dynasty to handwritten diary-like entry comprising more than 300 A4 pages.
Also, Koreans living in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada showed great interest in the competition.
The competition is part of the Korea New Story Creation Project announced on October 22, 2009. The awards ceremony will be held this March, with total prize money of 450 million won: 150 million won for the grand prize winner, 100 million won for the highest standing, 50 million won for two 'excellence award' winners, and 10 million won for ten 'encouragement award' winners. The panel will be made up of content industry professionals from the fields of investment, supply and production.
The winners will be funded by the KOCCA Creation Center to help them complete their scenario writing. Once the work is complete, the writers will be assisted with supports for production, distribution and supply. Non-winning works with commercial value will also be developed further through the Creation Center.
The Korea New Story Creation Project Is a one-stop project that goes beyond development of ideas to the completion of scenario, production and supply.
With this project, KOCCA is seeking to develop an integrated support system for the commercialization of creative story ideas, export contents with global competitiveness, lay a foundation for nurturing promising multi-media storytellers, and raise public awareness of the importance of storytelling.
KOCCA will establish OSMU (one source multi use) strategies with the aim of advance into foreign markets. To make Korean contents appealing to foreign countries KOCCA will assist production of videos and distribution marketing by providing investment and loan as well as production cost.
