KUWAIT CITY, May 20: The His Highness Sheikh Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah Informatics Award has launched the 10th edition of its cultural competition “Shift Kuwait” in collaboration with Al-Sadu Hose, under the theme “Kuwait: A Global City for Sadu Weaving,” marking the award’s silver jubilee.

Bassam Al-Shammari, a member of the Award’s Board of Trustees, told KUNA that the ten-day competition features questions on Sadu weaving, shared via Instagram and Facebook, and has drawn thousands of participants locally and internationally.

Al-Shammari said the competition consists of six questions on Sadu weaving. Participants who answer correctly enter a raffle for a share of USD 50,000, with 50 winners each receiving USD 1,000.

General Supervisor Sheikh Salem Adhbi Al-Salem Al-Sabah said the partnership with Al-Sadu House reflects a successful blend of technology and heritage, promoting Kuwait’s cultural legacy in an interactive format appealing to younger generations.

Launched in 2010, “Shift Kuwait” continues to use social media to spread cultural awareness and encourage public engagement with Kuwait’s heritage.
