The Golden Talent

Multi-talent competition focusing on any and all talents

Our story

Back to the start

Originating in Oman in 2022, Golden Talent is a multi-talent competition focusing on any and all talents. The digital competition aimed to bring together thousands of passionate likeminded individuals from all different backgrounds and levels.

After its initial success in Oman, the concept was then further developed and hosted for a second time in Qatar by Katara Cultural Village, one of the largest and most multidimensional cultural project of Qatar.

Hosted to coincide with the World Cup, the 2023 event was tailored specifically for football fans from across the globe. Participants were asked to display their talents and abilities whilst revolving their submission around football e.g. painting a football scene, sculpting a player, photography of a football event, designing a football teams uniform or ball. The options are opened ended and the potential for creativity is endless.

“Music and the arts have been a lifelong passion of mine and, whilst I still continue to compose and play music, I have started finding and working with young Omani talent on their journey to stardom. I was so impressed with the level of talent that I wanted to host a competition celebrating ALL the different talents Oman has to offer and thus ‘Golden Talent’ was born.”
