@AbuDhabiAwards COUNTDOWN TO THE 7th ABU DHABI AWARDS CEREMONY BEGINS

The Abu Dhabi Awards Organizing Committee confirmed today that the 7th Abu Dhabi Awards ceremony will take place in an exclusive event on Thursday the 30th of January 2014, and will be broadcasted live on Abu Dhabi Al Emarat television channel at 7:00pm, where the latest recipients of the Abu Dhabi Awards will be revealed.

Held under the patronage of His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, the seventh Abu Dhabi Awards ceremony will recognise the 2013 recipients amongst senior representatives from the Government and the community from across Abu Dhabi.

The names will be announced in the ceremony and will be broadcast live on Abu Dhabi Al Emarat television. Regardless of their age, nationality or gender, the recipients are individuals whose good deeds have contributed to supporting and benefiting the Emirate of Abu Dhabi’s community; this includes Abu Dhabi citizens, residents and non-residents, as well as Abu Dhabi citizens performing good deeds internationally. The Awards recipients are selected based on their deeds and actions, not by the number of nominations received.

“The nominations we received for Abu Dhabi Awards this year were from all parts of society and there were some truly incredible stories about people contributing to the Emirate,” said a spokesperson for the Abu Dhabi Awards organising committee.

“In this 2013 Abu Dhabi Awards campaign, almost 30,000 nominations were made. A new record was set in the form of 117 different nationalities taking part and there were also record numbers of young people and women participating in the nomination process.”

People can stay up to date on Abu Dhabi Awards 2013 until and throughout the ceremony at www.abudhabiawards.ae and by following the Abu Dhabi Awards social media accounts.
