As part of the Qatar National Day celebrations, the Nation’s mall invited schools to take part in a unique contest to showcase students’ creativity and get a chance to win prizes

Under the motto” In the future I see Qatar as…”, 17 schools participated in Mall of Qatar’s initiative to show their creativity, talent and love for Qatar. During a ceremony held on Sunday December 15th in the mall’s luxury court, Khaled Sam Hosn, CEO of Mall of Qatar, announced the 9 winners per age group 8-10, 11-13/ and 14-16 years, who secured cash prizes for their schools of QAR 5,000 (1st place) QAR 2,500 (2nd place) QAR 1,000 (3rd place) and QAR 500 (People’s Choice Award). While the 9 winners were selected by a judge panel through criteria such as relevance to the theme, visual effectiveness, creativity and originality, the People’s Choice Award was selected by fans of Mall of Qatar’s Facebook page.

“We have been amazed at the outstanding talent which has been displayed across the 37 entries, which made judging a very difficult, but extremely enjoyable process. We would like to thank all the schools and students for their participation and creativity. The competition is an annual event which gives talented students the opportunity to have their artwork publicly displayed to celebrate Qatar National Day and connects Mall of Qatar with our community” said Khaled Sam Hosn, CEO of Mall of Qatar.

All the students’ original artworks can be seen in Mall of Qatar ground floor, in the Luxury Court.
