There were awards not only for the winner of the contest but also for the applicants. The first 50 applicants who applied for the contest were received a 5,000 won gift card. Twenty outstanding applicants were each given 50,000 won gift cards. Also, these 20 selected essays will be published as a postscripts book after the works had been proofread. Shin Ji-hyeon (Dept. of Chinese Language and Literature, ’13), who has an interest in writing, decided to submit her essay as a postscript about the Major Special Program. She later received a prize at the writing contest. She said since her essay was reviewed and edited by the Writing Center, the contest was not only a means to edit her essay itself but it also gave her a chance to improve her writing skills by revising her general writing style.
