Media and communication students from across the UAE universities will pitch youthful and innovative project ideas, conveying ways they believe government communication can be advanced at a first-ever competition being organised by the International Government Communication Forum (IGCF), whose 11th annual edition will be taking place in Expo Centre Sharjah on September 28 - 29.

The competition, designed to discover exceptional talents in the field capable of building successful careers in government communication, is part of the pre-forum activities being held on September 26 - 27, and will be staged at the University Challenge Hall. The top three winners of the competition will receive the coveted Sharjah Government Communication Award (SGCA) honour in the “best university initiative to qualify future employees in government communication” category on the final day of IGCF 2022.
