In a remarkable achievement, the Sultanate of Oman secured five prestigious awards at the 2025 Gulf Smart Investor Award in its third edition. Organized by the Gulf financial market regulators under the umbrella of the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the award ceremony took place in Riyadh, under the patronage of H.E. Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary-General of the GCC.

The event honored a total of 44 winners across four creative tracks: video, drawing, photography, and writing. Winners were selected from three main categories: individuals, university students, and school students—each category recognizing three top winners per track, with five winners selected from the school student category per track.

Omani Winners

  • Marwa Farouq Mohamed Radwan – 1st place in writing (individuals category)
  • Sarah bint Hamad Al-Maamariyah – 3rd place in photography (university students)
  • Almohannad bin Mohammed Al-Riyami – 3rd place in video (university students)
  • Jehaina bint Suleiman Al-Rashidiya – 2nd place in drawing (school students)
  • Saleh bin Khalid Al-Qutaiti – 2nd place in video (school students)

These accomplishments reflect Oman’s dedication to promoting financial literacy, creative expression, and investment awareness among its youth and wider society. The Gulf Smart Investor Award continues to serve as a platform to inspire young minds across the GCC to explore financial topics through engaging and innovative formats.
