The Overseas Koreans Foundation (OKF) opens up submissions for the 22^nd Overseas Koreans Literary Awards (2020).

The Awards’ mission is to inspire overseas Koreans in 180 countries to write literary works in Korean and encourage young Koreans abroad to develop their Korean language. Also, the published winning works will bring together readers in diverse regions as well as ones in Korea, contributing to better understanding of overseas Koreans’ lives and related issues. We are looking forward to discovering inspirational overseas Korean writers around the world.

Notably this year, the OKF honors the ‘Adoption Memoir’ in addition to our traditional genres, hoping to meet Korean adoptees’ experiences. We would like to humbly invite Korean adoptee writers and hope many participate in the new genre.

Hosted & Organized by: Overseas Koreans Foundation

Supported by: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ROK
