Dubai residents have an exciting opportunity to win cash rewards by suggesting names for new neighbourhood parks across the emirate. Dubai Municipality has introduced a public naming competition covering 35 new parks in 11 residential areas. The initiative aims to encourage community participation and give residents an opportunity to contribute to the identity of their neighbourhoods. Under the programme, 35 selected participants will each receive Dh2,500 if their suggested names are chosen. The competition reflects Dubai's efforts to involve residents in creating welcoming and community-focused public spaces.
35 Parks and Dh2,500 Rewards for Winners
The competition offers a total of Dh87,500 in cash prizes, with one winner selected for each of the 35 parks. Eligible participants must be UAE nationals or residents of Dubai who live in the neighbourhood where their selected park is located. Applicants can visit the official competition page, choose their residential area and select the relevant park before submitting a proposed name. Participants must also provide accurate contact and residency information. The submission period runs from November 10 to December 9, 2026.
What Kind of Names Can Residents Suggest?
Dubai Municipality is encouraging suggestions that reflect Emirati culture, heritage and the character of local communities. Proposed names can draw inspiration from traditional practices, native trees such as Ghaf and Sidr, local crafts, poetry and historical places. Each suggestion must contain no more than two words and stay within the 50-character limit. Names associated with commercial brands, personal identities or inappropriate expressions will not be accepted. Originality, cultural relevance and suitability for public use will be important factors in selecting the winning entries.
How to Enter the Dubai Park Naming Competition
Residents interested in participating must access the competition's official online page and select their eligible neighbourhood and preferred park. They can then submit their suggested name along with the required personal and residency details before the deadline. The municipality will review entries based on creativity, originality and their connection to the surrounding community. Selected participants will be contacted through their registered details and may need to provide documents to confirm eligibility. The initiative gives Dubai residents a chance to contribute to their local environment while competing for a Dh2,500 cash reward.
