The award encourages participation in five distinct creative categories: ‘Poetry’ for expressing admiration and devotion to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH); ‘Arabic Calligraphy’; ‘Painting’ to depict his biography and achievements; ‘Multimedia’ which encompasses media and cinematic creations like short films and animations highlighting the Prophet’s life, and a new addition to this year’s edition, the ‘Miniature Art’ category, offering a unique perspective on the subject.
