Abstract

This study discusses dance competitions whose awards are supported by the government of Korea. By the analysis of the current status of these dance competitions, which is regarding their mission, organization, operation, the panel of jury and, follow up service for the prize winners from recent four years 2008- 2011, this study ultimately aims to suggest the institutional improvement. Under the Culture and Arts Promotion Act, government provides some of selected dance competitions with awards, grants and exemption from military service for prize winners in order to encourage country’s culture and arts. In accordance with the regulation about the government award, the mistry of culture, sports and tourism supports the dance competition by providing with presidential and ministry awards. In 2007, government has developed a new evaluation system for the performing arts competitions whose awards supported by the government to enhance the competitions’ fairness and operational effectiveness. With the evaluation system, government reviews the dance competitions’achievements and then makes a decision whether to continue to support awards for the next year. However, as a result of 2008-2011 operational status analysis, it turns out that the dance competitions still cause problems, which are criticized by the participants in the dance competition as well as the public for lack of fairness, operational ability, professionalism, and so on. In consequence, suggestions for the dance competitions are summarized as follows: Government should create institutional plans designed to improve fairness of the competitions and competitions’ operational effectiveness. In detail, the institutional improvements are about (1)building a regulation to co-host and co-operation of the competition for large-scaled dance competitions, (2)establishing a professional consulting system, (3)providing post-management service programs for prize winners. Significantly, switching from the current way of ‘one-off supports’, government should support a whole process of ‘Planning - Operation - Assessment - Management’ for the dance competitions so that the dance competitions would be able to bring out its development and appropriateness.
