She told Sharjah 24 that this year's participation was remarkable, with 330 submissions from Arab and foreign countries. This year saw an increase in entries compared to previous editions, with new countries such as Finland, Switzerland, and Canada participating for the first time. Some submissions from these countries have even made it to the shortlist.
