Participants can submit up to five artworks per registration, with a refundable registration fee ranging from AED 29 to AED 49 depending on age. The competition runs in three rounds: an initial short‑listing of the top 1,000 UAE artists, a public voting stage, and a final jury‑selected round. Winners receive cash prizes (AED 10,000 for first place, AED 6,000 for second, AED 2,000 for third), a magazine cover feature, media coverage in over 40 news outlets, and national ranking certificates. The final submission deadline is 31 October 2026, with registration closing on 11 September 2026. Eligibility is limited to UAE residents, with age categories below 9, 10‑19, and 20+. All artworks must be original and submitted in JPEG, JPG, or PNG format. The competition is held annually, making it a recurring call.
