When 27-year-old Salem Sarhan received the call, little did he know he was about to make history as the first Emirati to win ‘Moments’, an annual competition held by National Geographic Abu Dhabi and Almarai. He says, in an interview with ‘Gulf News’, that he’s very humbled by his win, which was officially announced today.
The winning shot was born off the theme ‘2020 Moments - A Year Lived Differently.’
Sarhan, who was born and brought up in the UAE and is currently based in Al Ain, recalls that while working from home last year owing to the unusual COVID-19 circumstances, he found himself staring at a daily event that would represent what had changed and yet stayed the same – moments of faith.
