Emirates Post has announced the launch of the Postal Portraits Photography Competition, open to all nationalities in the UAE aged 18 and above. This contest, running until September 30 next year, offers a monthly prize of Dh2,500 along with other giveaways.
The competition is aimed at capturing the vibrant postal experiences of the Emirates, reflecting its diverse cultural landscape. It welcomes submissions from both amateur and professional photographers.
