Alfardan Automobiles collaborates with Teen Art Awards for Qatar debut
Alfardan Automobiles, the official importer of BMW Group vehicles in Qatar, has partnered with Teen Art Awards (TAA) 2025 as the international event made its debut in Qatar.
Now in its third season, the TAA is a pioneering global youth arts initiative that empowers teenage creators from across the world, bridging heritage and innovation to shape a sustainable future through art.
The festival took place under the theme *A Culture Dialogue for a Shared Future.
As the Strategic Mobility Partner, Alfardan Automobiles contributed to the event’s mission of celebrating creativity and advancing the region’s cultural and artistic landscape, providing seven BMW 5 Series vehicles with professional drivers to transport VIP guests throughout the event.
The competition brought together young creatives aged 13-17 from across Qatar, showcasing works submitted in a wide variety of artistic mediums such as painting, drawing, photography, digital art and illustration, mixed media, collage, sculpture, and animation.
Selected artists had their work presented at the festival, with winners receiving prizes, mentorship opportunities, grants, international exposure, and access to major global art events.
To further support and nurture the talents of young creatives, the TAA prepared a wide programme of supplementary activities for all participants.
The TAA was held at Qatar Museums’ Teen Hub, a forward-looking initiative created to empower youth aged 13-17 through meaningful opportunities in the cultural and creative fields.
Representing BMW Group’s long-term commitment to art and culture, Alfardan Automobiles showcased THE 8 X JEFF KOONS Edition, an exclusive BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé designed by world-renowned pop artist Jeff Koons.
With only 99 cars produced globally, the design of this special edition incorporates elements from Pop Art, as well as geometric patterns that blend perfectly with the lines and contours of the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé.
Alfardan Automotive chief marketing officer Omar Hussain Alfardan was directly involved in the TAA youth art competition as a member of the jury, where entries focused on this year’s theme, connecting heritage and innovation, identity and technology.
In addition to his business interests, Alfardan’s participation in the TAA was a further display of his commitment to empowering the community as a member of the Committee of Trustees of the State Appreciation and Encouragement Awards in Sciences, Arts and Literature.
"Alfardan Automobiles is honoured to be part of the first TAA to be held in Qatar,” said Alfardan Automobiles general manager Ayman Berjawi.
"Community engagement through supporting regional youth empowerment and creativity is an important pillar for us,” he said. "Our participation in the TAA embodies our commitment to inspiring progress and celebrating the creative spirit that drives both the next generation of talent and Qatar’s cultural excellence.”
