Residents across Dubai are once again being invited to illuminate their homes in celebration of Ramadan as Brand Dubai announced the launch of the second edition of the Dubai’s Best Decorated Ramadan Homes competition.
The initiative forms part of the wider Ramadan in Dubai campaign and aims to transform neighbourhoods into vibrant reflections of the Holy Month’s spirit through creativity, tradition, and community participation.
Organised in collaboration with Emarat Al Youm, the competition encourages residents to redesign their home façades using lighting and decorative elements inspired by Ramadan values. Participants are invited to create visually striking displays that celebrate hospitality, togetherness, and cultural heritage.
A total of 15 cash prizes will be awarded, with the first-place winner receiving AED100,000. The second and third prizes stand at AED80,000 and AED60,000 respectively, followed by AED40,000 and AED20,000 for fourth and fifth place. Ten additional winners will each receive AED10,000.
Shaima Al Suwaidi, Director of Brand Dubai, said the initiative highlights Dubai’s ability to merge heritage with modern creativity, turning a longstanding social tradition into a shared civic celebration. She noted that decorated homes often inspire entire streets to participate, creating a unified festive atmosphere across the city.
Ibrahim Shukrallah, Editor-in-Chief of Emarat Al Youm, added that the publication will spotlight participating homes, documenting displays that reflect family spirit and generosity during Ramadan.
Entries must come from residences within Dubai and focus on front façade decorations. Participants are required to submit a creatively filmed video aligned with the Year of Family theme via a public Instagram post using the official competition hashtag and tagging @branddubai.
Submissions close on 11 March 2026.
