October in Busan is known as “Festival Month” due to the various events happening citywide. Between the 17 international events under the umbrella of Festival Shiwol and 14 festivals celebrating local communities, residents and visitors will have things to see, do and eat all month long.

Please note that your profile must be open to the public.

Furthermore, participants must complete an application via Google Forms. Additional points will be awarded for pictures taken during events associated with Festival Shiwol.

The winning photos will be announced on Nov. 20. Prizes include:
