A total of eight winners were selected (one for Top Prize, one for Grand Prize, and two for Excellence Prize in each category) after internal screening based on the following criteria: creativity, relevance, and effectiveness. All award-winners are given certificates, prize money, and gifts from BadaEnergy.   The top prize in the video category went to ‘The Power of Wind for the Future: Floating offshore wind together with local community’ (Students Jung Jiwoo, Kim Jinyoung, Park Hyohyun, Ahn Yoon at the University of Ulsan), which parodied a recent press conference that garnered immense attention to wittily explain the necessity of floating offshore wind farms to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The grand prize was awarded to ‘Floating Offshore Wind Energy: City of Wind’ (Students Ahn Soyoon, Kang Wijoon at the University of Ulsan), which demonstrated a high level of understanding of Ulsan floating offshore wind projects. Excellence prizes were given to ‘Exploring Eco-friendly Energy with Sea Friend Haewoori: Floating Offshore Wind’ (Students Shin Juhee, Kim Minkyung, Lee Hyowon, Hong Jiwoo at the University of Ulsan) and ‘Pay Attention to Wind’ (Student Lee Byunggyu at the UNIST).   In the image category, ‘New Changes in Ulsan’ (Students Jang Sihyun, Jung Seungwoo, Kim Eunchae at the University of Ulsan) was crowned as the top prize. This work presented new changes that floating offshore wind development would bring to Ulsan through a wide range of business ideas, receiving high marks for its novelty and feasibility in conveying the subject. The grand prize went to ‘Ulsan’s Green Energy, Floating Offshore Wind’ (Students Lee Chaemi, Sung Jimin at the University of Ulsan), which provided the rationale for developing floating offshore wind projects in Ulsan. Excellence prizes were given to 'Ocean Winds: The Ocean's Wish for Carbon Neutrality’ (Students Ahn Geumbi, Kim Yewon, Hyun Yeonji, Park Junsung at the University of Ulsan) and ‘Develop Wind Energy on the Frozen Taehwa River at the Climate Crisis!’ (Student Kim Eunhoo at the UNIST).   “Thanks to the great interest and participation of young students in Ulsan, we were able to discover highly informative and creative content with rich imagination and well-organized stories. We hope that this contest helped future generations better understand floating offshore wind projects in Ulsan and think together about and expand consensus on overcoming the climate crisis and promoting regional development” said BadaEnergy’s Gray Whale Project Ulsan Office Lead Yang Gwon-yeol at the ceremony.  <List of Winners from the content contest for college students in Ulsan under the theme of ‘Floating offshore wind together with the local community’>   ▲Top Prize Winners (one team in each category): (Video category) The Power of Wind for the Future: Floating offshore wind together with local community (Students Jung Jiwoo, Kim Jinyoung, Park Hyohyun, Ahn Yoon at the University of Ulsan) (Image category) New Changes in Ulsan (Students Jang Sihyun, Jung Seungwoo, Kim Eunchae at the University of Ulsan) ▲Grand Prize Winners (one team in each category): (Video category) Floating Offshore Wind Energy: City of Wind (Students Ahn Soyoon, Kang Wijoon at the University of Ulsan) (Image category) Ulsan’s Green Energy, Floating Offshore Wind (Students Lee Chaemi, Sung Jimin at the University of Ulsan) ▲Excellence Prize Winners (two teams in each category): (Video category) Exploring Eco-friendly Energy with Sea Friend Haewoori: Floating Offshore Wind (Students Shin Juhee, Kim Minkyung, Lee Hyowon, Hong Jiwoo at the University of Ulsan) / Pay Attention to Wind (Student Lee Byunggyu at the UNIST) (Image category) Ocean Winds: The Ocean’s Wish for Carbon Neutrality (Students Ahn Geumbi, Kim Yewon, Hyun Yeonji, Park Junsung at the University of Ulsan) / Develop Wind Energy on the Frozen Taehwa River at the Climate Crisis!
