A new competition has been launched to visualise the future of the UAE.

The Emirati Futurism Award will invite creative talents from across the UAE to share their visions of the future of Emirati culture and its evolution through technology.

Launched by Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) in partnership with Dubai Future Foundation, the contest will have seven categories - Architecture and Urbanism; Fashion and Jewelry; Product and Industrial Design; Photography and Graphic Design; Film and Animation; Music and Performing Arts; and Fine Arts.

The winners will receive cash prizes and internship opportunities at various organisations.
