About the initiative:
- Dubai Cares will encourage individuals and organisations from the DIFC community to donate an amount and their contribution will be highlighted creatively on the winning sculpture.
- To encourage a higher number of donations, DIFC's contribution would be the commissioning of the art piece that will feature all the donor's names.
- The winning proposal will be chosen based on criteria set out by the art committee from the DIFC and Dubai Cares along with an art expert.
Guidelines and Judging Criteria:
- The proposal should highlight how the art piece will incorporate all the donor names in a creative manner.

- The sculpture should be able to display the names of donors differently based on the contribution amount. The various levels of contribution are yet to be defined.
- Emirati artists are encouraged to participate.
- Details on the art piece may be required at a later stage for shortlisted art pieces.
