Incheon City Introduces Customized Award Certificates for Visually Impaired
Incheon Metropolitan City has announced the introduction of customized award certificates for visually impaired recipients.
This measure was implemented after accepting a public proposal. The city has decided to apply bold fonts to award certificates to address the difficulties experienced by people with low vision who struggle to read standard text.

Based on this insight, the city focused on improving the visual readability and information accessibility of award certificates to allow recipients to more deeply appreciate the significance of their awards.
