The contest has been successfully held for 20 years and has become the most prestigious art contest in the Yeongnam region.
This year 1,491 high school students from all over the country participated in the contest. 17 students participated in the Drawing a Plaster Figure category, 75 students in the Watercolor Painting category, 127 students in the Thinking and Expression category, 37 students in the Expressing a Situation category, 601 students in the Basic Design category and 634 students in the Differentiating Ideas category.
Professor Kim Ki-Soo, who is the contest chairman, said “the Dongseo Art & Design Contest has been held for 20 years. The longevity of this contest means that it is now well established, and it is not only growing in popularity but is also becoming more prestigious. Every year, many high school students participate in this contest because a student who wins a prize in this contest gains a big advantage for university admission.”
Participants and distinguished guests offered the following impressions of the contest.
Kim Won-Bin (Pohang High School, Senior): I participated in the Basic Design category this year. I have been receiving formal design training for a year and a half at an art academy. I would like to enter a university in Busan or Daegu, and my main goal is to major in fashion design at DSU. I will do my best to achieve my goal.
Hwang Hyun-Suh (Guduk High School, Senior): It is my first time to participate in a contest. I wanted to gauge my ability and also have a good experience. I am planning to enter a university which specializes in design. My goal is to become a leading designer who breaks new ground.
Oh Chung-Hun (Vice President of Creative Morning Academy): There are seven Creative Morning Academy branches in Busan. This year, about 100 students from our academy participated in the Dongseo Art & Design Contest. Our students often take the initiative of asking us about this contest before we have the chance to recommend they enter since they are aware of the benefits for university admission if they win a prize. Even if they don’t win a prize, the experience will be a precious asset to them. DSU has become recognized as one of the most prestigious universities in the design field.
