National Bank of Fujairah (NBF) PJSC announced the completion of its inaugural ‘NBF Art Competition’ to mark the UAE’s upcoming 50th National Day that was launched in October 2021. The competition received over 200+ entries from emerging and established artists from across the UAE. The artworks were themed around the UAE’s 50-year of legacy and portrayed how the artists foresee the country’s next 50 years.
In accordance, NBF announced the top 3 winning positions during an event held at DIFC on November 25th. The first position was secured by Mohamed Hussein, with Yulia Verigina placing second, while the third position was secured by two winners, Yasmeen Naeem and an Emirati artist, Hend Rashed. This was preceded by a judging session hosted by a prominent committee comprised of leading figures of the UAE’s art community to select the winners.
The art competition is part of NBF’s celebrations of this important milestone in the history of the country. It is also closely aligned with our corporate social responsibility strategy that focuses on supporting local communities and in line with the UAE leadership’s vision to promote and grow the art and cultural sectors. “NBF has always been at the forefront of exploring new opportunities to support the various evolving communities within the country. We are particularly excited to be able to support the burgeoning creative sector in this way and the art scene, in particular, is one of the areas that the bank will be focusing on in the coming years. In the same way that the bank is known for its support to the SME sector so we want to provide artists with a platform to express themselves, to flourish and be recognised. There is so much to celebrate in this field and we would like to play a part in showcasing the country’s rich culture and heritage to the world,” said Vince Cook, NBF’s CEO.
Winners of the NBF Art Competition will have an opportunity to showcase their artwork at the Capital Club DIFC. In future art projects, the bank has plans to support selected artists with art mentorship and possible collaborations to further build their profiles.
