Abu Dhabi, August 30: Nominations for the 5th Abu Dhabi Awards will open today and the recipients’ names will be announced at the Emirates Palace in December.
The deadline for nominations is September 27.
According to Abu Dhabi Awards Organising Committee member, Maryam Amiri, “By nominating we get the opportunity to give thanks to those among us whose work may otherwise go unnoticed. And through the act of expressing our appreciation, we can also inspire others to share their goodwill.”
The nomination period will be followed by an extensive judging process by a panel of senior government officials. Nominations can be submitted in five ways: visit one of the 124 nomination stations located across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region; visit the website: www.abudhabiawards.ae; stop a roving nomination station when you see one – look out for the Abu Dhabi Awards Smart Cars; fax a completed nomination form to 800 33300; and post a completed nomination form to PO Box 44442 Abu Dhabi.
The awards are in pursuance of the commitment of the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to preserve the legacy of the nation’s founding father, the late Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
