Japan Tobacco International announced on Wednesday that it will hold its fourth national writing competition for senior citizens in Korea.
This year’s literary contest awards great works in two literary genres ― poetry and essay ― with the theme “elderly lives of wisdom.”
The annual JTI Elderly Literary Award was first held in 2010 to proliferate the “new senior culture” of creativity and independence.
The application period runs from Aug. 1 through Oct. 15, with the results to be announced Nov. 8. All seniors who are born in 1958 or earlier are eligible.
One applicant can submit up to three poems and two essays. For each literary genre, the first, second and third winners will be awarded 2 million won ($1,750), 1 million won and 500,000 won, respectively.
