NOMINATION AND SELECTION OF HWARANG HEROES AND LEGENDS

How It Works

​

The Hwarang Heroes and Legends Award Committee is responsible for the selection of the Heroes and Legends.

The Committee screens the nominations and presents a proposal for final candidates. The committee consists nominally of eleven voting members, but since many years, it also includes voting adjunct members. The committee then evaluates the candidates’ merits, based on their positive impact on societal, academic, and/or cultural development.  The Committee’s final proposal is discussed in a larger body, the Hwarang Youth Foundation, who has the final voting to nominate the candidate. It is in principle possible to suggest that no Prize be given the current month, but that is a seldom used choice.
