Saudi wildlife documentaries receive top honors at Muse Creative Awards
LONDON: Three documentaries showcasing Saudi Arabia's wildlife have won a total of six platinum awards at the Muse Creative Awards, which honor excellence in innovative and creative filmmaking worldwide, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday. 'Guardians of the Red Sea: The Hidden World Beneath' earned two platinum awards in the Nature and Wildlife, and Documentary categories, while 'Hope is Growing,' which explores the propagation and reintroduction of endangered species, secured platinum awards in the Music Film and Nature, and Wildlife Films sections. 'Horizon,' which was produced in collaboration with the Center for Government Communication, took platinum awards in the Cinematography, and Documentary Film tracks. Established in 2015 by the International Awards Associate, the Muse Creative Awards have become one of the most prestigious events in digital media, design, and marketing, attracting over 100,000 entries from more than 120 countries. The award-winning films showcase the Kingdom's rich biodiversity and natural landscapes, helping to raise public awareness of environmental conservation. They also underscore Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to protect wildlife, preserve ecosystems, and promote sustainable environmental practices. Arab News hosted a special screening of the 'Horizon' documentary at the residence of the EU ambassador in Riyadh in April 2024, where Abdullah Alahmari, CEO of the Konoz initiative, and Yazeed Albader, associate producer of the documentary, were honored. Speaking at the event, Princess Lamia described the film as 'not only a celebration of Saudi Arabia's rich natural heritage but also a call to action — a reminder of our shared responsibility to protect and conserve the precious ecosystems that define our world.' Now available on streaming giant Netflix, 'Horizon' is part of a collaboration between the Ministry of Media's Center for Government Communication, and the National Center for Wildlife, celebrating the rich natural diversity of the Kingdom. Several other Saudi entries were also recognized at the ceremony, including 'Start Your Championship,' a film which chronicles the first national Olympics in Saudi history; 'Challenge is Our Nature,' a documentary which follows the Dakar Rally in the Kingdom; 'Race the Sunset,' a celebration of youth spirit and culture during the GT race in Jeddah; and 'We Race the Future,' a film about the Saudi Arabian Formula One Grand Prix in Jeddah.
