UAE storytelling competition: How to join

This year’s theme resonates deeply with the nation’s goals, focusing on ‘sustainability’, in tune with the UAE’s proclamation of 2023 as the Year of Sustainability.

Young budding writers are called upon to chronicle their sustainable initiatives and experiences, crafting them into compelling tales, penned exclusively in Arabic.

Every story should possess a clear structure, encompassing an engaging introduction, a well-developed plot, and a fitting conclusion.

Engaging with educational institutions, the competition facilitates entries through schools. An appointed supervisor from each institution will be responsible for evaluating and forwarding the students’ entries, and in recognition of their efforts, they stand a chance to win rewards from DCT-Abu Dhabi.

Notably, direct submissions from parents, on behalf of their children, are also welcome.Upon the competition’s conclusion, DCT-Abu Dhabi will honor the winning entries by compiling them into a published anthology.

Aspiring writers and schools are urged to submit their stories by the 30th of November 2023 via the Maktaba Digital Library.
