Daum Junior Photo Festival

The Daum Junior Photo Festival is an annual event that supports teenagers who are interested in photography through virtual artist experience in order to develop
their potentials.
We select 100 applicants through a photo contest,
who will be granted the opportunity to participate in
the camp, publish their works and hold group exhibition.
10 applicants will be selected as the winner of the ‘Daum Junior Award’ including 1 grand prize and 9 excellence prizes.

In today’s indiscriminate media environment, this program enables teenagers to embrace media in a prudent manner based on its correct understanding. The development of their creative, active personalities is encouraged through offering them various opportunities for active participation, for example, involvement in the whole creative process including the planning stage. By allowing teenagers from all over the country to gather in one place to enjoy, feel and learn through cultural experiences, this program seeks to broaden opportunities for regionally balanced cultural education. This program is sponsored by Nikon Imaging Korea Co., Ltd.
