Nikon and MG Motor UAE Celebrates International Women’s Day with an Exclusive Competition Inter Emirates Motors (IEM), a subsidiary of Ali & Sons Holding LLC, the official distributor of MG Motor vehicles in the United Arab Emirates, has taken its partnership with Nikon Middle East to the next level; this time to celebrate women content creators in the UAE by giving them the opportunity to level up their photography and videography skills this International Women’s Day.
The competition is open to all female content creators in the UAE. Contestants would need to share their best travel photos or videos on Instagram using the hashtags #NikonWomenWhoWander, #NikonMEA, #MGMotorAE, and #LongbeachCampground for a chance to be a part of a fellowship of female content creators.
These unique female creatives will then embark on a journey of discovery to the Longbeach Campground in Ras Al Khaimah equipped with a Nikon Z camera and an MG car from MG Motor UAE and IEM. Submitted entries will be evaluated and 10 winners will be selected by an expert panel of judges from Nikon Middle East, MG Motor Middle East and IEM.
These shortlisted winners will earn a 3-day, 2-night weekend staycation from April 9th to April 11th 2022 in Ras Al Khaimah. They will also get a chance to immerse themselves in a highly creative “glamping” experience equipped with the award-winning Nikon Z 6II kit and supplied with a range of MG’s best sedans and SUVs from 2022.
Hisham Elsahn, General Manager, IEM, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Nikon once again for yet another stellar campaign – this time to celebrate women empowerment for International Women’s Day. We believe that it is our responsibility to highlight and engage with female content creators whilst providing them with opportunities to hone their unique skills and talent.
