The decision to extend comes due to the increasing volume of applications and to allow sufficient time for those wishing to submit, within the framework of the Academy’s keenness to grant the opportunity to applicants from the UAE and various Arab countries.

Al Mansoori added, "The extension came based on the great demand for candidacy from various countries of the Arab world. Hence, the new date provides further opportunity for those wishing to submit their files to compete for the award in its seventh edition."
