Godolphin competition for artists

dubai — Godolphin, the global horseracing team founded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Tuesday launched an exciting new competition for artists, photographers, filmmakers and poets, who live and work in the UAE.

The ‘Expressions of Support’ challenge invites UAE-based artists, who are also fans of Godolphin or equestrianism, to use their talents to show their support for Team Godolphin by creating a piece of artwork, short film, photo or poem, which captures the spirit of Godolphin, in return for a once in a lifetime chance to live the Godolphin experience for a week.

Mohammed Saeed Hareb, Creator of Freej, said: “As an Emirati I see Godolphin as my home team, they are a source of great pride and I look to support them wherever they are competing around the world. It is an honour and a privilege for Godolphin to select me to be one of the judges.”

In addition to having their artwork, photograph, short film or poem displayed at the Dubai Future Champions Festival in Newmarket, which plays host to over 20,000 people, the prizewinner will also receive two return business class flights to the UK, hotel accommodation for four nights, as well as a private tour of Sheikh Mohammed’s racing and breeding operations in Newmarket.
