#VibeWithUs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with KOREAZ, has announced the launch of the 1st “Vibe With Us” Contents Contest, inviting participants from around the world to share stories of comfort in everyday life. The contest theme is “Comfort Found in Everyday Life with You and Me,” and participants are encouraged to showcase one example each of how their own culture and another culture have provided them with comfort or encouragement. AI may be used to create the submissions, but participants must clearly indicate which parts of the work were created using AI, such as video timestamps, background music, or images.
Videos must be vertical (9:16), in 1080×1920 FHD resolution, in mp4 or mov format, and at least 30 frames per second. Submissions in all languages are accepted, but non-English videos must include English subtitles.
The contest is open to participants worldwide. Those under the age of 14 must submit parental consent for the collection and use of personal information. To enter, participants should post their video on their own SNS account with the campaign hashtag #VIBEwithus and submit the original video along with a completed registration form via Google Form.
The submission period is from July 28th to October 26th, 2025. Winners will be notified individually and announced on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website and KOREAZ SNS channels in November 2025.
Awards include one Grand Prize, two Excellence Awards, three Merit Awards, and one Special Prize. Winners will receive recognition from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and a small prize. Entries will be evaluated by Ministry officials and external experts based on theme relevance, creativity, aesthetics, and applicability.
Participants should note that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs holds exclusive rights to use winning works for non-profit and public purposes, including editing, copying, transmitting, and distributing. Works that involve plagiarism or infringe on third-party copyrights may be disqualified, and participants are responsible for any such violations. Winning works will be uploaded to KOREAZ platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X.
Additionally, participants can join the “Vibe With Us” Relay Challenge on Instagram, which invites people to introduce Korean cultural elements—people, places, music, literature, food, or items—that brought them comfort during difficult times. To participate, users can tap the campaign highlight on the @mofa_koreaz Instagram profile, use the “Add Yours” button to load the challenge template, add a photo or video representing their personal K-Comfort along with the K-Hand Sign, tag @mofa_koreaz and the next participant, and share the completed story on their own Instagram account.
