New contest spotlights Busan’s transformation
Busan Metropolitan City is inviting creative content makers to enter its 2025 YouTube Video Competition, “Find Neul·Noh·Pul Busan!” Submissions are open through Oct. 17.
The contest aims to showcase Busan’s recent transformations and future vision through short-form video. Entrants may choose from three suggested themes: Expanded (늘리고), Elevated (높이고), and Resolved (풀었다), each reflecting a key aspect of the city’s development.
“Expanded” focuses on Busan’s growing international profile, including rising tourist numbers and foreign investment. “Elevated” highlights improved performance in global rankings such as the Smart Centres Index. “Resolved” refers to long-delayed projects now moving forward, including new bridges across the Nakdonggang River and the planned reconstruction of Sajik Baseball Stadium.
The competition is open to individuals and teams, including international residents officially registered in Korea. To enter, participants must download the application form from tv.busan.go.kr, upload their video to YouTube using the designated hashtags and submit the form online. Submissions are due by 6 p.m. on Oct. 17.
Eight winners will receive cash prizes. Four exceptional videos will also earn the Busan Mayor’s Award. Results will be announced in November on the Busan Video Archive website and the city’s official YouTube channel.
