This contest is designed to strengthen eco-friendly practices in daily life through NIE (Newspaper in Education: education with newspapers) and help implement environmental protection through creativity and integrated thinking skills and the creation of an environmental diary.

Since its fourth edition in 2012, the competition has been expanded from Daegu and the Gyeongbuk area to elementary, middle, and high school students nationwide.
