It is part of HH Shaikh Khalid’s initiatives that aim to support young Bahrainis, and HH Shaikh Khalid has ordered to allocate prizes worth more than $60,000 for the winners. On this occasion, HH Shaikh Khalid commented: “We have instructed our media office to organise ‘Your Talent at Home’ competition, which comes as part of our initiatives implementing the directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to embrace young Bahrainis and encourage them to unleash their talents and creativities in various fields, to reflect a perfect image of Bahrainis’ great capabilities and potentials.”

Furthermore, HH Shaikh Khalid revealed that this announcement was made in support of the decisions of the National Taskforce for Combatting the Coronavirus (COVID-19), led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, to cement the social-distancing measure in an effort to mitigate the virus’ spread.

“The event represents an ideal platform for young people to invest their energies in the right way,” HH Shaikh Khalid indicated. “I invite all young people in Bahrain to participate in this event and showcase their talents.”
