dubai — A new competitio­n launched on Wednesday offers Dubai residents the chance to win two Emirates return tickets for their friends and family to visit them in the city.

The Dubai Tourism’s #MyDubai initiative called on all residents to share compelling moments in their lives that highlight the diverse culture and soul of the city. Participan­ts can submit their entries on the MyDubai Facebook page, or simply upload to their personal Instagram and Twitter accounts by using #MyDubai and #MyInvite. The competitio­n, which began on October 15, will select two winners each week for 15 weeks.

“The passion for the emirate that exists among both UAE nationals and communitie­s of more than 200 nationalit­ies living here is a key driver of Dubai’s success. These residents take pride in posting about their experience­s in the city, sharing special moments from Dubai with the world.

“The best advocates of a city are the people who live in it. Through this campaign, we hope to encourage residents to highlight what truly lies beneath the urban and technologi­cal experience­s and highlight why Dubai has maintained its position as the fourth most visited city in the world,” said Issam Kazim, CEO, Dubai Corporatio­n for Tourism and Commerce Marketing.

“What started out four years ago as a city-wide initiative to create the world’s first autobiogra­phy of a city has today grown into a mammoth library of user-generated content that has allowed us to tell a unique story by capturing real-life dynamic moments that both residents and visitors experience in this remarkable destinatio­n.”
