Special Prized Contest with Aspiring Korean Singer Chanwoo Bang!

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas! On this special occasion, me along with my college friend and young Korean singer Chanwoo Bang have decided to host a creative writing contest here on Penana! As part of Chanwoo’s new song ‘그런 날이 있어’, this special prized contest is one you would not want to miss!:)

Having received an international high school education at North London Collegiate School Jeju on Jeju Island, Korea, Chanwoo is a young and aspiring singer-songwriter who has a fond passion in music and singing. Moving on to college, Chanwoo has never given up his musical endeavors amidst hectic schoolwork. Despite living in a whole new environment, Chanwoo continues to write new songs and publish his works in his free time and enjoys playing the guitar at night when he is at home. Through composing various original songs, Chanwoo hopes to touch his fans with his unique voice and guitar playing, as music is something which he holds dear to his heart.

The theme of this special contest will be based on Chanwoo’s new original song ‘그런 날이 있어’. For this contest, feel free to write a short story or poem with the feelings you had whilst listening to the song – you can write about anything, it can be a short piece about a romantic story or an intergalactic universe far, far away, or even a poem about one special night when you couldn’t go to sleep. You can really write about anything...let your emotions shine through!:)

Listen to Chanwoo’s song ‘그런 날이 있어’ here! :

Hi!:) I came across some illustrations by a Korean artist today and thought it might be nice to create a contest with the theme Love - I was hoping to make this contest into something like a scrapbook...one which you may all want to look back sometime!

Here is an animated short film made by the artist showcasing some of her illustrations:

For the contest, feel free to write a sentence or a short paragraph around the theme, or you can submit a sketch or a simple doodle about your thoughts too! Any kind of love is ok! If you would like to write/draw about family love or love for a much treasured toy, I would love to hear about it as well!

Below are some links which I bumped into earlier today - I hope they will help with your writing/doodling!

This one shows a kickstarter project which the artist is funding for her art book publication:
