1915 BY SEDDIQI ANNOUNCES ITS HIGH PROFILE PANEL OF JUDGES 
FOR THE ‘MAKE IT WATCH-ABLE’ COMPETITION JUST DAYS AFTER ITS 
DESIGN WORKSHOP @ SHELTER DUBAI

United Arab Emirates, Dubai: 1915 by Seddiqi, the UAE’s go-to destination for fashion watches, announced its panel of judges for its ‘Make it Watch-able Competition’ just after its dedicated design workshop @Shelter Dubai took place. The ‘Make it Watch-able’ competition sets out to engage creative minds in the UAE by giving them the task of translating a radio script into a visual project through animation, photography, illustration, painting, drawing/sketches, cinematography and/or visual arts.  The script is part of a fun radio campaign that was aired by 1915 earlier this year. With an eclectic mix of industry leaders and inspirational figures, the jury is made up of UAE Nationals and Expat males and females of different ages, with one main thing in common- their love and drive for creativity.

A compilation of influential personalities and pioneers of the creative community, the jury was carefully hand-picked to provide a balanced, yet diverse outlook on the competition and the work submitted by the contestants

The jury members are already stars in their own right and have, in their own way, contributed to the creative landscape of the UAE.  Jury members are: Ahmed & Rashid bin Shabib, Co-founders and Directors of Brownbook Magazine, Alan Harvey, Creative Director at Cravens, Eileen Wallis, Managing Partner, The Portsmouth Group, Mariam Al Sarkal, TV Director and aspiring Filmmaker, Muna Mohammed Seddiqi Award-winning Designer and the creative force behind Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons corporate material, Nawaf Al-Janahi, an Actor and a Film Director and finally Qais Mohammed Sedki, the Author of Gold Ring, the first Arabic manga illustrated by professional Japanese Artists.

Continuing to put its Art-foot forward and keeping up with its promise to nurture creative talent in the UAE, 1915 by Seddiqi just held a design workshop @Shelter Dubai, which set out to develop practical skills for the aspiring creatives.  1915 took the opportunity to formally introduce the ‘Make it Watch-able’ Competition to an audience of art enthusiasts.

The practical workshop helped those who attended strengthen their ability to create compelling visual artwork.  They also learned techniques to break out of their usual patterns of thinking and create truly unique ideas.  The workshop was divided into two parts: Break the mold: Strategies for visual ideation & Storyboard with purpose: Delivering the right impact.
