Invest Bank Launches 'Sharjah Inspired Design Challenge' to Celebrate Cultural Identity
In a move to bridge tradition with innovation, Invest Bank has announced the launch of the ‘Sharjah Inspired Design Challenge,’ an open call to artists, designers, and creatives from across the UAE to design a timeless icon that captures the essence of Sharjah’s rich cultural identity.
The initiative seeks to highlight the emirate's architectural heritage, artistic calligraphy, and cultural depth through a modern visual representation. Entrants are encouraged to blend traditional influences with contemporary aesthetics to develop a standalone symbol that reflects both Sharjah’s historic legacy and forward-looking spirit.
The winning design will not only become a central element of Invest Bank’s branding but will also receive a cash prize of AED 50,000. Submissions are open until August 22, 2025.
Humaida Al Khalsan, Head of Corporate Affairs & Marketing at Invest Bank, emphasized the significance of this initiative:
“For us at Invest Bank, one of our core strategic priorities is community impact and engagement. Through this initiative, we seek to engage and celebrate creative talents, aiming to create a powerful visual homage to Sharjah's unique identity, a reflection of both its proud legacy and inspiring future.”
This design challenge aligns with Invest Bank’s broader commitment to community engagement and cultural preservation, while fostering innovation and local talent development.
By launching the 'Sharjah Inspired Design Challenge', Invest Bank reinforces its role not only as a financial institution but also as a supporter of artistic expression and Emirati heritage.
