Saudi Museums Commission Launches 'Virtual Reality Competition for Museums'

Saudi Arabia's Museums Commission has opened applications for the "Virtual Reality Competition for Museums," aimed at enabling talents to create interactive educational experiences within museums. This initiative is part of the commission's ongoing efforts to promote education and innovation in the museums sector.
The competition seeks to support young talents by equipping them with skills in virtual reality design and programming. These competencies are intended to advance museum capabilities, enhance their societal role, and highlight cultural identity by creating virtual reality experiences that reflect the Kingdom's heritage, SPA reported.
Target participants include students and graduates specializing in information technology, computer science, digital design, and fine arts. Developers and programmers interested in virtual reality technologies are also encouraged to apply. The competition welcomes artists and designers eager to integrate technology with art, as well as culture enthusiasts with a technological background who wish to explore virtual reality applications in museums. Storytellers with the ability to creatively narrate their city or region's history and civilization are also invited to participate.
Applications are open from December 6, with a training program scheduled to run for four months. The competition will unfold in four phases: selection of trainees, virtual reality training and development, creation of interactive educational experiences, and evaluation and judging. Winners will be recognized through regional ceremonies held in their respective areas.
The Museums Commission urges all eligible individuals to contribute to shaping the future of regional museums in Saudi Arabia by creating innovative, interactive platforms that inspire future generations and foster an appreciation for museums and cultural heritage.
Registration for the "Virtual Reality Competition for Museums" is available through the Museums Commission website or its official social media channels.
