Awarded since 2001, the Prize was established in 1998 in collaboration with the Government of Sharjah (United Arab Emirates). The Prize promotes intercultural dialogue by rewarding significant contributions made by two personalities, groups or institutions to the developing, raising awareness and spreading of Arab culture through artistic, intellectual, or promotional work that enhances mutual understanding.
Proposed candidates should have earned an international reputation through meritorious and long-term action.
UNESCO and the Government of Sharjah encourage you to propose qualified candidates who deserve recognition for their literary, scientific or artistic achievements, as well as for their global dissemination of Arab culture.
The Prize is endowed with 60,000 USD, divided equally between the two winners. They are selected on the recommendation of an international jury, which is created for this purpose.
We encourage you to nominate women or young people in line with UNESCO’s commitment to youth and gender issues.
