Applications call for Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival 2021.

The Festival Committee welcomes submissions addressing the annual theme from artists and directors of all ages and nationalities, regardless of their emirate or country of residence.

Theme

The theme of the 2021 Festival is Hope. The ninth edition of the Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival will celebrate Hope and its promise of possibilities. Through art, the festival will explore where hope is found, how hope is built, and how hope is shared. Festivals will search for the connection between hope and the future of humanity. How can hope inspire art and how does art inspire hope?

Eligibilities 

Artists and directors of any age may enter work in all categories, but may only complete a submission form once per category. Additional submissions for the same category, even if the entry would fall under a different sub-category, will not be considered. The exception is the Student Category, which is only open to current students in grades K-12. Please note that recent secondary school graduates and current university students must submit under the regular categories.

Submission

All work must be created and executed by the artist and no reproductions are allowed. While artistic judgments and innovations are open, the Festival is a public event, and content must be respectful and suitable for audiences of all ages. Submissions that contain or depict violence, profanity, sexual images, or other content that would jeopardize a “general audience” rating in the UAE may be excluded from the competition.
