President of the Forum, in recognition of their role in serving creativity and

promoting excellence.

The honourees included the Presidency of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania in

recognition of its support for the Chinguetti Award; MBRF for hosting MBRKA; the

Supreme Council for Culture in Egypt for its adoption of pioneering awards such

as the Nile Award for Arab Creators and the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for

the Arabic Novel; the Greater Amman Municipality for its sponsorship of the King

Abdullah II Ibn al Hussein Award for Creativity; and the Abu
Dhabi Arabic Language Centre for its sponsorship of the Sheikh Zayed Book

Award, which has become one of the most prominent Arab and international

awards.

In addition, the Forum, in collaboration with the Arab Thought Foundation,
launched its new project, the ‘Arab Awards Platform,’ a comprehensive and

reliable Arabic database that includes all Arab awards that meet membership

criteria and provides detailed information about each award.

The platform enables the classification of awards based on multiple entry points,
including the awarding body, field, target category, and monetary value of the

award. The platform also serves as a directory, providing direct links to the official

websites of these awards, to help researchers, nominees, and media, as well as

to boost cooperation among the awards, allowing them to document their

experience and expertise.

The Forum’s first-day agenda also included a General Assembly meeting for

members, which reviewed the Forum’s journey since its inception and discussed

prospects for cooperation and plans. In addition, specialised seminars were held

with the participation of a select group of thinkers and experts.
