Array of Sight

A Competition for Young Artists Across the Middle East and North Africa

The artistic imagination has the power to conjure a better world. As we emerge from COVID-19 and look to the future, Array of Sight invites young and aspiring artists from all countries of the Middle East and North Africa to submit original works of virtual art that express their vision of a post-pandemic region. The best submissions will win cash prizes and international exposure.

About us

We support the promise of young artists in ancient lands

Array of Sight, a virtual arts competition for young artists in the Middle East and North Africa, aims to nurture their talents through partnership and showcase their work to the world. The competition is open to digital art as well as digital image representations of traditional art. Valid entries relate to the theme of “imagining a post-pandemic region.” In addition to individual works, special prizes will be awarded to collaborative work by artists who come together across a border of identity — be it ethnic, national, sectarian, or religious.
