Submit

‘DMZ Half & Half Photo Contest' is the Republic of Korea’s national campaign that uses photographs as a medium of communication. Gyeonggi Province of Korea wishes the world to combine their efforts in rewriting the story of DMZ as the symbol of harmony and peace by participating in the event of creating an art work in search of the other half of the DMZ photos provided. Starting from a simple idea that the DMZ and the world can connect by literally combining two distinct photographs, Gyeonggi Tourism Organization has decided to coordinate the DMZ Half & Half Photo Contest campaign. DMZ is easily associated with the idea of War, but in fact, is the most peaceful land. Gyeonggi Tourism Organization sincerely hopes the relay of global citizens’ wishes for unification eventually reaching DMZ, and soon enough realizing the day Korea finally become one.
