Terms and Conditions

An annual competition for Arabic enthusiasts, including native and non-native speakers, is organised by the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre (ALC). The competition analyses brief videos, covering subjects and reflecting a variety of Arabic-speaking experiences. In addition to showcasing the beauty of the language and its capacity to describe human experiences, the works created for the competition are intended to inspire young people to become interested in and proficient in Arabic.
