The forum was announced as a platform for creative growth and professional cooperation, gathering publishers, artists, industrial leaders, and distributors. In this way, it continues to build bridges between cultures, as envisioned by the organizers.
The highest award of the Sharjah Multimediya Forum for contribution to support its mission and expand its regional and global presence was received by the world animator Sandro Closo.
The organizers noted that the forum has become not only a place for the presentation of talents but also stories of Arab history on the screens with the support of Sheikha Baduar bin Sultan Al Qasimi, the chairman of the Sharjah Book Council.
The director of the Sharjah Multimediya Forum, Haula al-Majidi, emphasized that the success of the program reflects the long-term vision of the Sheikh, Dr. Sultan bin Muhammed Al Qasimi, a member of the Supreme Council of Sharjah, mayor of Sharjah, who taught generations that great cultural and artistic projects require time and a present belief in humanity.
