Additionally, all participants will be recognized with certificates of appreciation and participation. The date of the ceremony will be announced later, once the qualifiers are concluded.
Mr. Abdulaziz Saud Albabtain, the Chairman of the Foundation, stated that this competition is part of their efforts to promote the significance of Arabic poetry among the younger generations.
