In July, Curtin University Dubai announced the Urban Art Fest 2020 Competition where residents across the UAE could take part in photography or painting contests across three categories; Highschool, University, and the General Public.
The online competition was open to all artists and presented them with an opportunity to win exciting prizes including a 75% scholarship to study at Curtin Dubai and e-vouchers worth up to AED 2,000.
Curtin Dubai Urban Art Fest 2020’s theme of ‘The New Normal’ has received an astounding number of submissions, and over 2000 registrations. The competition was also sponsored by Uninest Student Residences, a dedicated student residence accommodation provider that offers all of the amenities and comforts that students may require while studying in Dubai.
We are pleased to congratulate the following artists on their success.
