New UAE stamp honours three generations of Dubai’s leadership

Hamdan international photography award’s 10th anniversary celebrated

In collaboration with the Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award (HIPA), Emirates Post Group (EPG) has issued a commemorative stamp in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Award.

Three illuminated images are featured on the stamp, representing the visual passion, which has been passed down through three generations of Dubai’s leaders and the pillars of the UAE’s leadership — The late Shaikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, Founder and Patron of the HIPA.

Important contribution

Abdullah M. Al Ashram, Group CEO of Emirates Post Group, said: “It is our privilege to release the new commemorative stamp in honour of [HIPA’s] 10th anniversary. With this stamp, we honour the Award’s important contributions to promoting prominent artists in the visual arts, bringing together national and international photography talents, and recognising inventive ways to use a camera’s lens to record and preserve human experiences.”
