The Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources has opened artwork submissions for “Seaside Stories,” an art exhibition scheduled for December 6 to 10 in Malé to commemorate Fishermen’s Day 2026.
According to the announcement made by the Ministry, artists wishing to showcase their work at the upcoming exhibition must complete the designated online submission form and submit their entries before 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25.
Interested participants seeking additional information can contact the ministry directly at 3339625 or 3339223.
The exhibition forms part of a broader lineup of activities organised by the Ministry to mark the 46th National Fishermen’s Day, which is celebrated annually on December 10.
This year’s official state ceremony will be hosted in the capital, Malé, where national awards will be conferred across four categories: Distinguished Young Skipper (Under 35), Most Experienced Master Skipper (Over 35), Distinguished Reef Fisher, and a newly introduced Distinguished Female Fisher Award.
Alongside the art exhibition and official ceremony, the Ministry has also opened registrations for “Rahavaru,” a competitive seafood cook-off targeting youth and aspiring amateur chefs, scheduled to take place in Hulhumalé on December 12.
