Abu dhabi: The Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) is extending an invitation to the general public, alongside school and university students throughout the UAE, to take part in the 'Gulf Smart Investor Award'. This initiative is a key part of the regional investor education programme known as 'Mulim'.
According to Emirates News Agency, the programme was launched by securities regulators in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to promote sound financial behaviour and responsible investing in capital markets. The award aims to inspire participants to produce original and creative content that enhances educational material on subjects such as financial planning, saving, investment fundamentals, and investor protection.
Participants are invited to submit their entries across four creative tracks: video, writing, drawing, and photography. The competition is open to three primary categories: individuals, university students, and school students. This ensures that people from various societal segments can contribute to enhancing financial literacy and investment awareness.
Cash prizes have been designated for the winners to acknowledge their creativity and contribution to fostering a culture of informed investing within the region. The SCA emphasizes the award as a valuable chance for young people and those interested in finance to develop their skills, display their talents, and create educational content that benefits the broader community.
The SCA highlights that the deadline for entry submissions is February 2026 and urges all interested participants to review the complete details of the award, including eligibility criteria and submission tracks, on the Mulim programme website.
