Essay category
The theme for the 2010 essay competition is Korean folktales. Contestants are to write an essay in response to one of three provided prompts regarding a folktale of the contestant's choice. Contestants must choose one of the stories listed on our folktales page.
Sijo category
Created in collaboration with the Korea Institute at Harvard University, the goal of our sijo category is to introduce students to a lesser-known style of poetry, the traditional Korean sijo. Read examples of sijo, or last year's winning entries.
Mission
The goals of the Sejong Writing Competition are to discover children and young adults talented in writing and to encourage them to learn and write about Korean and its culture. Through this writing competition we hope to increase the awareness and understanding of Korea’s cultural heritage amongst the younger generations growing up in the United States so as to promote harmony among people of various ethnic backgrounds and bridge Asian and Western cultures.
Eligibility
This competition is open to all pre-college students residing in the US regardless of ethnic background.
