Busan Foundation of International Activities is accepting entrants for its annual Korean speech contest for foreign nationals in November.

The event, which the center says it holds to encourage the city’s foreign residents to learn Korean, will feature contests for the best speech on any topic and for the best group skit by 2-5 people.

The contest itself will be held from 3-5 p.m. at Lotte Mall in Gwangbok on Nov. 06.

Applications can be made by submitting a form, available from bfia.or.kr, by Oct. 23.
