The 'Daejeon 0 o'Clock Festival' was first launched in 2022 with the goal of revitalizing the local economy and has established itself as a representative summer festival of Korea over the past two years. The Daejeon Metropolitan City is organizing this contest to further broaden the public's understanding of this year's festival and expand citizen participation.

Anyone can participate in the contest by freely creating a poster on the theme of the '2025 Daejeon 0 o'Clock Festival'. The contest is divided into two categories: 'General Poster' and 'B-grade Poster', and participants can submit a total of two entries, one for each category.

In particular, the 'B-grade Poster' refers to works that express the festival with the unique, humorous, and witty perspective characteristic of B-grade sensibility. It is expected that this contest will widely promote the friendly image of the 'Daejeon 0 o'Clock Festival' through original and creative perspectives. Posters selected as excellent works will be used in various festival promotional materials such as outdoor advertisements and social media in the future.

The city will select grand prize, first prize, and 10 excellent works through a professional and fair judging process and award prizes. Additionally, prizes worth a total of 5 million won will be provided to 220 participants through a lottery.
