The Jeollabuk-do Baduc Association (affiliated with the Korea Baduk Federation) is inviting amateur baduk players to participate in this event, to be held July 20-24, 2018 in the Republic of Korea. The main event is for women only, who will not only receive room and board but also 50% reimbursement for international airfare. Chun Hyang is a female character in a famous story that's been told for thousands of years in the city of Namwon; she represents intelligence, and the tournament is being held to find brilliant female Baduk players. There is a limited division for men, but without the airfare reimbursement. Please note that these dates overlap the U.S. Go Congress and it will not be possible to attend both.
The deadline to apply is
June 23. For more information, or to apply to participate, please contact
