Saudi health awareness award open to Arab participants
The Saudi Ministry of Health, in partnership with the National Health Insurance Council, recently launched its 2022 edition of the Wa’ai Award, an annual health awareness campaign, whose total yearly prizes hit SR1 million ($266,575).
Under the slogan “Arabs Agree on Awareness,” the award aims to encourage all Arab talents to produce creative content that contributes to a healthy lifestyle, through the award’s five tracks, including short films, motion graphics, infographics, photography, and unusual creative ideas.
The organizers have been receiving entries from all over the Arab world through the website: https://waaiaward.com. The last chance for those wishing to participate will be April 9.
According to the Ministry of Health, contestants in the film category can participate with short awareness films of no more than two minutes discussing a health-related experience or warning against certain diseases that threaten the community. The films can also tackle any health issue or misconceptions about health.
Photography contestants can submit photographs with health awareness messages. The quality of the photos also matters in evaluation.
In the motion graphics category, participants can submit short animated films of no more than two minutes. Submitted works can be either warnings against diseases or promoting health awareness.
In the infographics category, entrants can design creative infographics on any health issues they think would convey an awareness health message to the community.
