Award for Arabic children’s literature extends deadline

Sharjah: The Dh1 million Etisalat Award for Arabic Children’s Literature has announced it is extending the deadline for submissions to September 15 due to the difficult circumstances in a number of Arab countries.

The UAE Board on Books for Young People (UAEBBY), organisers of the Etisalat Award for Arabic Children’s Literature, extended the deadline for its seventh edition in recognition of the problems faced by publishers who require more time in printing, delivery and shipping procedures.
