Abde’a Award – Creativity Knows No Limits!

The Abde’a Award by the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation is a unique platform for children and youth in Jordan to unleash their talents in the fields of literature, performance, art, and scientific innovation.
We provide them with a free and safe platform for expression, growth, and positive competition, accompanying them on their journey toward a more creative future.

Since its launch in 1988, the Abde’a Award has been opening doors to imagination and talent. It is a national annual award that targets children and youth in Jordan — both Jordanians and non-Jordanians — to encourage creativity, develop their abilities, and nurture an aware and educated generation capable of self-expression and contributing to building the future.

The award reflects the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation’s belief in the role of knowledge, art, and science in shaping awareness, and its commitment to supporting creativity from an early age.

Every talent has a place in Abde’a!
