Ulsan City has come forward to find a mascot design that will be the new face of "Ulsan Wales," the first civil professional baseball team in Korea.
Ulsan City announced on the 26th that it will hold the "16th Ulsan Metropolitan City Public Design Contest" under the theme of "Ulsan Wales Professional Baseball Team Iconic Mascot Design."
According to the Ulsan Metropolitan Government, the competition was organized to develop a representative mascot that combines Ulsan's urban symbolism and professional baseball team image with the establishment of the citizen professional baseball team "Ulsan Wales" and to use it as a public design asset as well as to promote the club.
Anyone from all over the country, including individuals and companies, can participate in the application qualifications. However, the team can be composed of no more than two people, and up to two works can be submitted. The application method can be submitted from March 3 to 4 with an exhibition panel and an application form that freely composes two basic types (attack and defense 1) and five applied movements (attack 2, defense 2, cheer 1) of one major (main) mascot.
Ulsan City plans to select a total of 10 works after internal and expert screening for the received works, awarding the Ulsan Metropolitan Mayor Award and paying a total of 15 million won (10 million won for the grand prize). The results of the screening will be announced on the Ulsan city website on March 20 in connection with the "2026 KBO Futures League Opening Game (Ulsan Home Game)."
Among the winning works, the grand prize work selected as the "Ulsan Wales Professional Baseball Team Mascot" will be used in various fields such as club promotional materials, souvenir production, public facility information boards, exhibitions, 3D sculptures and video contents. In addition, all award-winning works are managed as public design assets through separate exhibitions and publication of works. For more information, refer to the Ulsan City website announcement or contact the Ulsan City Urban Landscape Division.
An Ulsan city official said, "We plan to foster the Ulsan Wales mascot as an urban sports trademark representing Ulsan beyond the symbol of the civic club," adding, "We look forward to a lot of interest and participation in the 16th Public Design Contest."
