In addition to recognizing outstanding works annually, the award is committed to creating opportunities and initiatives that support its objectives. Particular emphasis is placed on engaging youth in Saudi Arabia and China, harnessing their technical and artistic potential to strengthen cultural ties between the two nations.
The incentive award has been established to empower young talent across three categories: young researcher, young creator, and young translator. The award adheres to the general award guidelines, including a maximum age limit of 35 years for candidates in these categories.
