SEOUL, South Korea, August 5, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Talk Talk Korea 2023, the world's largest Hallyu (Korean Wave) content contest, has officially begun and will accept submissions until September 17. Organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's Korean Culture and Information Service (KOCIS), the annual contest aims to spread positive images of Korean culture around the globe. This year's theme, "Let's Unveil the Diversity of Korea," reflects a focus on showcasing the rich and multifaceted aspects of Korean culture.

The contest will include five general categories: K-Music, K-Food, K-Beauty, K-Fashion, and K-Culture. Participants can submit videos, drawings, webtoons, photos, and essays, with different submission periods allocated for each theme. Additionally, the special theme of "Introducing Korea" will accept video and drawing entries throughout the entire contest period. Submissions are to be made through the contest's official website www.korea.net/TalkTalkKorea.

KOCIS has planned to select a total of 80 winners, ranging from first to fifth place in each category, based on expert evaluations and user votes. The winners will be announced in October.

Prizes for the contest include a nine-day cultural tour program in Korea for the eight first-place winners from each category. Other prizes encompass laptops, smartphones, tablets, and gift cards. Interestingly, all participants will receive commemorative non-fungible tokens (NFTs), a nod to the growing trend in digital assets.

The winning entries will gain further exposure by being featured in upcoming online and offline exhibitions both in Korea and abroad.

KOCIS Director Kim Jangho expressed optimism about the rising global interest in Korean culture and its impact. He said, "Global interest in Korean culture and the status of K-content keeps rising. We hope that K-culture will become more widespread in the future so that people around the world can naturally enjoy Korean culture in their daily lives."

Talk Talk Korea 2023 offers a unique platform for enthusiasts of Korean culture to share their interpretations and experiences, thus contributing to the worldwide appreciation of the richness and diversity of Korea's cultural heritage.
