Discover About Us

Award Categories

A prestigious platform for Arab creators, where every idea can spark change.

One-Minute Video

Show us a human story that matters—use one minute to spark change, add value, and inspire others. The concept is wide open: express your vision and values through bold, distilled visuals.

Photography

Let one photograph do the talking.
Use your lens to express a human or social purpose—an image that serves the community and sparks thought, dialogue, or action.

Purpose-Driven Commercials

An open space to present a short commercial—video or audio—that addresses a meaningful social issue. Evaluation centers on message strength, real impact, and attention capture, highlighting innovative, persuasive execution that showcases the creator’s craft.

Short Documentary

Submit a short film addressing a human, social, or national theme, elevating facets of civilizational heritage. Submissions must draw on reliable references and archival material to reinforce credibility and inspire audiences.

Digital Platform

Present your platform: what you publish, the shows you run, and a quick reel of past highlights. Use your entry to surface the key messages that truly resonated—through educational, awareness-driven, or human-centered content that inspires and reinforces positive values. Back it up with audience feedback or testimonials to demonstrate impact.

Determined Voices

Dedicated to creators from the People of Determination community. Entrants are free to choose how they express their talent—through a video, photograph, short documentary about a lived issue, marketing content, or even a sports achievement. This category celebrates willpower without limits, showcasing how People of Determination inspire and positively impact society in diverse, innovative ways.
