Youth Lens on Tourism : Competition ties into Youth City 2030
Young Bahrainis are being invited to capture the Kingdom's story through a sustainability lens, as the Ministry of Sustainable Development launches a nationwide photography and videography competition under the theme "Sustainable Tourism in Bahrain through the Eyes of Youth."
Organised in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, the Nikon Youth Program, and Ashrafs W.L.L., the competition is a key highlight of this year's Youth City 2030 programme and aims to channel youth creativity in support of national development goals.
Creative call
Open to citizens aged 15 to 35, the contest invites participants to visually interpret Bahrain's sustainable tourism landscape. Submissions may include depictions of historical landmarks, environmental events, recreational or sporting activities, and traditional cuisine, reflecting the cultural, social, and environmental elements of sustainable tourism.
Training and recognition
The initiative is designed to nurture technical and artistic growth while encouraging youth to engage more deeply with national priorities.
According to the organisers, the programme will also align participants with professional production standards.
The competition will conclude with a ceremony during the final week of Youth City 2030, featuring an exhibition of finalists' work and an awards presentation. A panel of experts in youth development, tourism, and visual arts will judge the entries.
Shortlisted finalists will receive expert training to enhance both their visual storytelling techniques and their understanding of sustainability before applying their skills to field-based creative assignments across the country.
