The MGF Art Competition, powered by Misk Art Institute and executed in collaboration with Misk Foundation, is a platform for artists to reflect on the Forum’s annual theme through powerful visual storytelling. 

Open to both Saudi and international creatives, the competition aims to spotlight diverse artistic voices across multiple disciplines — from illustration to digital design, photography, and mixed media. 

Each year, the competition invites artists to submit original work aligned with the Forum’s theme. Submissions are evaluated by a joint internal committee, and finalists are shortlisted based on a clear set of criteria. The final winner is chosen through live public voting during the Forum, creating a vibrant space where creativity meets community.
