Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award

DUBAI (WAM)

 


H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai
Sports Council, honoured winners of the 12th edition of the Hamdan bin Mohammed
bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award (HIPA) at its annual
awards ceremony held at the Dubai Opera.



The event was attended by various dignitaries and members of the photography
community.



Ali bin Thalith, Secretary General of HIPA, extended his gratitude to H.H.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and
Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, and Patron of HIPA, for his support for
both HIPA and the art of photography. "This year, we pay tribute to the concept
of 'Diversity,' which is a hallmark of life on our planet. The Award seeks to
deepen our appreciation and understanding of the remarkable diversity inherent
in nature,” he said.



Bin Thalith further said, “Diversity was one of the key founding values of the
UAE, which gave rise to a unique Emirati ethos marked by inclusiveness and
tolerance.”



Commending the outstanding Emirati and Arab photographic talent featured in the
Awards, he highlighted the notable achievements of Emirati photographers, such
as Fatima AlMosa who won the Emerging Person in Photography Award and Abdalla
Albuqaish who secured third place in the ‘Diversity’ category. “These
accomplishments exemplify HIPA's vision and commitment to fostering excellence
in the photography industry. The UAE’s growing presence in international
creative photography is a source of pride for all of us," he said.



The Secretary General of HIPA also hailed the achievements of other Arab
photographers highlighting the triple Kuwaiti victory, the commendable
achievements of Saudi Arabia and Oman, and the Palestinian presence among the
Award winners. "We have seen Arab creative photography touching new heights of
excellence in recent years. Notably, 40 percent of Award winners hail from Arab
countries, signifying the growing profile of photographers from the region on
the global stage." While Kuwait secured three awards, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and
Oman each clinched two awards.



At the ceremony, Ali bin Thalith unveiled the theme for the upcoming season:
‘Sustainability’.

 



Grand Prize


Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid honoured Massimo Giorgetta from Italy,
who won the US$120,000 Grand Prize for his photo documenting a mysterious sea
creature from the Jellyfish Tunicate family covered with other marine creatures.




Special Awards


Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid honoured Special Award winners with the
‘Photography Appreciation Award’. Dutch photographer Frans Lanting was honoured
for his outstanding contribution to photography in the fields of nature and the
environment.




The ‘Photography Content Creator Award’ was awarded to American photographer
Margaret Steber, described by National Geographic magazine in 2013 as a
‘visionary’. She is a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation and has worked for
Newsweek and the Associated Press. Her photographs are displayed in several
prestigious institutions in the world, including the US Library of Congress.

The ‘Emerging Person in Photography Award’ was presented to Emirati photographer
Fatima AlMosa, in appreciation of her outstanding work. Her photographs feature
a visual methodology that relies on black and white, away from the distraction
of colours. Fatima is dedicated to expressing creativity by capturing the
essence of the past, commemorating history, and highlighting the heritage of
previous generations, including their culture and way of life. Through her work,
she aims to share her culture while emphasising the values of harmony and
coexistence.




Diversity Awards




Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid also honoured the winners of ‘Diversity’
Awards. Imre Potyó from Hungary secured the first place, while Mohammed Al Bahar
Rawas from the Sultanate of Oman was placed second. Abdalla Albuqaish from the
UAE won the third spot and Mohammed Yousef AlKandari from Kuwait took fourth
place, while the fifth place went to his compatriot Mohammed AlQattan.



The award ceremony was also attended by Her Excellency Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi;
Her Excellency Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Director General of Dubai’s Community
Development Authority; and His Excellency Mohammed Ahmed Al Murr, Chairman of
the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Library.




General Awards


Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, President and CEO of Alliances
for Global Sustainability (UICCA), honoured the winners of the General Awards in
both Colour and Black White categories. Aleksandr Chehonin from the Russian
Federation was placed first in the General – Colour category while Bader Ali
Hussain from Kuwait came second and Indian photographer Hermis Valiyandiyil came
third.



In the General – Black White category, Ravi Kanth Kurma from India came first,
followed by Saudi photographer Talib Abdullah Al Marri in second place, and
Omani photographer Salim Sultan Al Hajri in third place.


Portfolio Awards


Abdul Rahman bin Mohammad bin Nasser Al Owais, Minister of Health and Prevention
and Minister of State for Federal National Council Affairs, and Chairman of the
HIPA Board of Trustees, honoured the winners of the Portfolio Category.
Australian photographer Scott Portelli won first place and Arif Hudaverdi Yaman
from Türkiye came second, while the third place went to Brent Stirton from the
USA, followed by Antonio Aragon Renuncio from Spain in fourth place and Dutch
photographer Jasper Doest in fifth place.


Digital Art Awards

the Digital Art Category. Wanhua Zhao from China won the first place, followed
by Palestinian photographer Mahmoud Alkurd in second place, Hannelore Schneider
from Germany in third place, Jawharah Saeed Alzahrani from Saudi Arabia in
