DUBAI — Moosa Abulhabi, from the south Indian state of Kerala, has won the mega daily prize of two Lexus cars and Dh100,000 in cash in the draw held on January 3. Moosa, who works for a transport company, was thrilled to win the raffle.
“I've been living in Dubai for 12 years now and I've rarely bought raffle tickets. So when I bought the ticket from one of the Lexus Kiosks, I never thought winning. I feel really great,’’ he said.
Ten-year-old Aparna won a brand new Nissan in the Grand Nissan Raffle draw held on January 3. Incidentally, Aparna's father, Velmurugan, loves the Nissan brand and is looking forward to receiving the car. In the Gold Raffle draw that gives away a one kilo of gold everyday, Ajit Kumar from Canada won gold worth Dh72,000. The Gold raffle has helped project Dubai as the City of Gold.
The participating artists – 41 sculptors and 27 painters - have been selected for the Art Symposium based on their creative flourish, contribution to art and international appeal. The artists will also judge each other's works with the jury to have the final say on the winners. Prizes will be awarded to the first three winners in each category.
"The Emaar International Art Symposium completes the spectrum of art and entertainment events offered as part of the Dubai Shopping Festival," said Mr Ahmad Al Matrooshi, UAE Managing Director, Emaar Properties. "The event, now in its third edition, underscores our commitment to strengthen the fine art culture of Dubai, and takes art – as a process and product - from the confines of galleries and exhibition halls to the people's midst."
