“Abu Dhabi Through Your Eyes” Creative Media Competition To Re-Launch

Abu Dhabi Through Your Eyes, one of the region’s most prestigious photography awards, has relaunched this year as a multi-faceted creative media competition. Alongside six inspiring photography categories, ADTYE 2017-2018 is encouraging locals and internationals alike to enter short films and student artwork and writing.

Since its origin in 2008, ADTYE has consistently showcased Abu Dhabi’s diversity and beauty within the UAE, and beyond. The Abu Dhabi Brand team at the Office of Government Communications has relaunched the competition in order to continue the goal of inspiring creative visuals that represent Abu Dhabi through the eyes of the public.

ADTYE motivates individuals to explore new parts of Abu Dhabi, to showcase the lesser-seen wonders of the Emirate from their own unique perspective – whether that is through photography, film, art or writing.

Anyone can enter unpublished films and photographs which were shot in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. This includes citizens, residents and visitors, from professionals to amateurs. The winners of two film categories will receive 50,000 AED, while the winners of the six photography categories will also receive 50,000 AED.

Submissions close at 18:00 on 13^th May. The submission website and all competition information is easily found on the ADTYE webpage, hosted on the Our Abu Dhabi website (www.ourabudhabi.ae/ADTYE). Regular updates, special opportunities and reminders can also be found on the ADTYE Facebook page. (www.facebook.com/ADTYE)
