ABOUT US

FTA is a non-profit organization that provides financial support, guidance and mentorships to emerging designers from across the MENA, while also functioning as a platform of opportunity through which talented Arab designers can grow and receive international recognition.

FTA Prize is the first of its kind initiative in the Arab world. The first edition was successfully launched in 2018, under the patronage and presence of FTA’s Honorary Chair HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser and Co-chairs HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani and Tania Fares at an annual awards ceremony event held Doha, Qatar. Each year, six winning designers are selected across six different design categories with a seventh category launched in 2024; The Fashion Tech Award.

The Prize is currently on its 8th edition. Learn more about our prize categories.
