Qatar National Library celebrated the winners of a student competition that recognized Qatar’s achievements under the leadership of His Highness the Father Amir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani (1995–2013).
The award ceremony featured valuable prizes for the top three winners in each category of the competition, which brought together primary and preparatory school students from across the country on the occasion of Qatar National Day.
Participants conducted extensive research to explore the Father Amir’s pivotal role in shaping Qatar’s modern identity and his contributions to education, culture, foreign policy, and humanitarian efforts.
The competition was divided into two categories: poster design and article writing. Primary school students created innovative posters that visually depicted key moments in Qatar’s renaissance while preparatory school students wrote insightful essays, on Qatar’s economic and social development, foreign policy, and humanitarian legacy.
Maha Al-Naimi, an Information Service Librarian at Qatar National Library, said the competition aligns with the Library’s efforts to enable youth to gain deeper insight into Qatar’s history and the legacy of its leaders.
“Empowering youth to understand our history is essential to preserving our nation’s cultural heritage. The competition highlighted the visionary leadership of His Highness the Father Amir and provided students with a platform to express their creativity in documenting his rich legacy,” she explained.
