The winners received a total of 2.4 million won in scholarships, including 1 million won for the grand prize, 500,000 won for the excellence award, and 300,000 won for each encouragement award.
The grand prize went to "A Regional Co-Prosperity Plan Using the BNK Maru Platform," which received high marks for its originality and feasibility. The excellence award went to "On-Navi, Which Helps Users Easily Find the Items They Want," while three ideas, including "Measures to Revitalize the Saechulbal Fund Through Job Linkages," received encouragement awards.
