ADACH has set one of its objectives to maintain Abu-Dhabi’s values, culture and heritage and sets their vision towards making Abu Dhabi the cultural centre of the middle east region. We have been engaged with them since the beginning of year 2008 providing variety of innovative ideas which resulted in winning two projects for the development of two dynamic portals for two of their subsidiaries, 'Sheikh Zayed Book Award' and the 'Emirates Photography Competition'.

1- Sheikh Zayed Book Award: The award is independent and neutral, it is presented every year to outstanding Arab writers, intellectuals, publishers as well as young talent whose writings and translations of humanities have scholarly and objectively enriched Arab cultural, literary and social life. The award established under the patronage and support of Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture& Heritage. The award is supervised by a Higher Committee that sets the general policies and a Consultative Council to follow-up on its operational mechanisms. The value of the award totals AED 7 million.
