Sharjah award seeks submissions of impactful contents
Applications are open until 24 July, 2025 at www.igcc.ae/sgca. The award invites participants to reflect on the evolving nature of communication and its power to shape public discourse, influence perception, and contribute to societal progress. While all 23 categories across five key sectors celebrate innovation in communication, two categories in particular showcase how media and digital content are driving meaningful change: 'Best Communication and Media Content' and 'Best Changemakers in Digital Content'.
The SGCA goes beyond traditional metrics such as media reach or digital virality, amplifying the power of content creation in all its evolving forms. The awards honour creators, institutions, and narratives that are redefining media across platforms, raising public awareness, and fostering a culture of responsible, impactful communication in today's digital age.
The Best Communication and Media Content category is open to government entities, private institutions, and NGOs worldwide. It commends strategically conceived communication projects with clear objectives and measurable outcomes. Eligible entries will be considered through a broad range of formats, including comprehensive public campaigns, documentary productions, podcast series, digital platforms, and influential broadcast programming; to name a few.
Submissions must exhibit excellence in production quality and creativity, but most importantly they must demonstrate strategic and well planned communication. Applicants are also required to provide evidence of measurable positive impact, such as enhanced public awareness, documented behavioural shifts, or contributions to policy development addressing societal challenges.

SGCA continues to nurture new generation of communication leaders
Applications for the current edition are open until 24 July 2025, and eligible participants include government entities, the private sector, international organisations, and individuals. Apply now at: With dedicated categories targeting youth, university students, and artificial intelligence skills, the Award is helping to position the UAE as a regional and global leader in modern government communication. Organised by the Sharjah Government Media Bureau (SGMB), SGCA recognises that communication is no longer a soft skill as it is one of the top five essential capabilities in today's leadership and management landscape, especially in the age of digital transformation. A study by the YTH Initiative found that youth-focused communication programmes can boost self-leadership and confidence by more than 45%. SGCA builds on this insight through the 'Best Youth Initiative in Government Communication', a category that offers young minds the opportunity to take on leadership roles and develop their strategic and social impact skills. Trust and transparency: Spotlight on spokespersons The 'Best Official Spokesperson' category continues to encourage institutional trust and human-centred communication. According to the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer, 63% of people are more likely to trust spokespersons who are transparent and responsive, reaffirming the critical role of trusted voices in public engagement. Digital-first leadership The Award's 'Best Changemakers in Digital Content' category speaks directly to the reality of how communication is consumed today. A Hubspot report shows that 82% of internet users interact daily with short-form video content, highlighting the growing demand for creative, video-savvy leaders who can translate public messages into visual storytelling that resonates with online audiences. Merging theory with practice To bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world communication, SGCA introduced the 'Best Research in Communication Sciences' category. A University of Michigan study revealed that organisations applying scientific research in their communication strategies saw 71% higher campaign success rates, a compelling argument for policy guided by data, not guesswork. Investing in tomorrow's talent With its 'Universities Challenge' category, hosted in collaboration with United Arab Emirates University, SGCA invites students to compete by solving real-life communication challenges. According to the World Economic Forum, communication and critical thinking are among the most in-demand skills for the leaders of 2030, making this an investment in the UAE's future workforce. Communication powered by AI In recognition of emerging technologies, the Award's 'Artificial Intelligence Skills Camp' (AISC) category aims to equip young leaders with next-generation tools. A report by edX (2023) found that 92% of global executives plan to upskill in AI within the next two years, highlighting the need to integrate tech fluency into the DNA of communication leadership. A platform for national excellence With knowledge-based programming and strong institutional partnerships, SGCA continues to serve as a national platform for excellence, nurturing talent, rewarding innovation, and advancing the UAE's global communication leadership.

SGCA 2025 amps up cultural communication
The Sharjah Government Media Bureau (SGMB) has announced the accreditation of three international institutions as official partners of the Sharjah Government Communication Award 2025 (SGCA), under the 'Partner Awards' categories that spotlight the important role of communication in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals. The list of partners includes the Chief Sustainability Officers Network (CSO Network), a leadership platform focused on corporate sustainability; Asia House, a think tank specialising in driving commercial and political engagement between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and the Alliance for African Partnership (AAP), a collaborative initiative supporting development across Africa led by Michigan State University and African institutions. Through these partnerships, specialised categories have been introduced, with each partner nominating entities or initiatives it deems most deserving based on SGCA's criteria and its area of expertise. Best Communication Practices Dealing with Development Advances (CSO Network): Presented in partnership with the CSO Network, the award for 'Best Communication Practices Dealing with Development Advances' category recognises outstanding communication strategies implemented by government, private, or international organisations to address environmental, food security, and sustainable development challenges. SGCA logo Eligible campaigns must creatively use the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence, data analysis, and digital media, to foster awareness, influence behaviour, and generate tangible, lasting results. Topics may include environmental protection, food security, and sustainable consumption. Award for Outstanding Development & Cultural Communication (Asia House & AAP): Presented in partnership with Asia House and AAP, the 'Award for Outstanding Development & Cultural Communication' award honours regional initiatives that use communication to drive tangible, inclusive, and sustainable change. This category includes two distinct subcategories, with 'Excellence in Communication for Sustainable Development' accredited by Asia House, recognises communication-driven initiatives from Southeast Asia that foster economic, social, cultural, or environmental progress. Eligible projects should show clear, measurable results in improving education, healthcare, environmental practices, or community resilience. Collaboration and the creative use of traditional and digital media to unite communities are central evaluation factors. The second subcategory in collaboration with AAP and its academic and research partners across Africa, is the 'Excellence in Communication for Food Security and Quality of Life' which acknowledges communication programmes that have made a measurable difference in rural development, agriculture, and food systems. Submissions should demonstrate how the initiative empowered farmers or youth, increased awareness around food security, and implemented innovative methods to create lasting community impact. Driving communication that transforms communities: Commenting on the newly formed international partnerships, Alia Al Suwaidi, Director of SGMB, said: 'Communication is no longer just about delivering messages, it is a force for change that strengthens social cohesion and advances humanitarian goals. The new categories highlight communication models addressing global challenges like food security, environmental sustainability, and cultural inclusion and aim to create new opportunities for impactful communication to gain visibility and influence.' "We are proud to partner with the SGCA on the 'Best Communication Practices Dealing with Development Advances' award," said Dr. Yasar Jarrar, CSO Network Secretary General. "This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to spotlighting how strategic communication can accelerate sustainability and innovation. At CSO Network, we believe that the right narrative has the power to transform development outcomes and this award will honour those who are shaping the future through bold, effective, and visionary communication." Michael Lawrence OBE, Chief Executive at Asia House, said: 'Asia House is proud to partner with SGCA 2025 to spotlight the vital role communication plays in shaping inclusive and sustainable development. By recognising initiatives that foster economic and social progress across Southeast Asia, we aim to promote collaboration and inspire innovation to tackle the region's most pressing challenges.' 'During SGCA 2025, the important role of communication in advancing food security and improving quality of life across Africa will be highlighted, said Titus Awokuse, Vice Provost and Dean International Studies and Programmes, Michigan State University & SGCA Conference Speaker. 'Effective communication empowers communities, fosters knowledge sharing, and supports sustainable rural development, which are key elements for creating positive change on the continent.'
