The\u00a0Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre<\/a>\u00a0has launched the Golden Narrative (Sard Al Thahab) Award at\u00a0Al Dhafra Book Festival<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presented annually, the Golden Narrative Award will highlight the best short stories, both published and unpublished, by new or emerging writers and established ones in genres such as graphic stories and works of historical literary fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the aims of the newly launched award is to preserve the art of storytelling in contemporary works of fiction. Authors and aspiring writers will have the chance to highlight and explore\u00a0Emirati culture\u00a0<\/a>from history, celebrated and notable figures, geography and folklore, through storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this award, we will further our strategy to strengthen the UAE\u2019s culture and identity, while enriching and preserving the Arabic language,\u201d said Ali Bin Tamim, chairman of the centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe also aim to encourage creativity, and motivate Arab generations to use their imagination and express their experiences.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
