Jeonju, a leading city of traditional culture in the Republic of Korea, has long been committed to safeguarding, transmitting, and promoting the value of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). We are pleased to share with you the spirit and journey of the Awards, which have grown into an international platform for recognizing those who have made meaningful contributions to the safeguarding and revitalization of ICH.
