The second edition of ‘Global Prompt Engineering Championship’, the flagship generative AI prompt engineering competition, is set to take place during Dubai AI Week from April 22–23 , 2025.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Dubai Future Foundation, the championship seeks to develop a thriving global community that exchanges expertise, knowledge, and innovations in the prompt engineering space.
It will attract AI experts from around the world to compete in four categories – Art, Video, Gaming, and Coding – with a total prize pool of $270,000 (AED 1 million). The championship serves as a platform to showcase skills in the field of prompt engineering by crafting precise instructions for an AI tool to generate desired unique content.
Organized by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), an initiative overseen by the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), this global challenge provides AI professionals and enthusiasts with a platform to break new ground in AI, collaborate on cutting-edge advancements, and immerse themselves in Dubai’s thriving innovation ecosystem while solidifying the emirate’s position as a global leader in AI.

“This April, the Global Prompt Engineering Championship will unite top AI engineers, designers, and prompt programmers in a high-energy environment to explore the next frontier of AI. This event strengthens Dubai’s position as a global testbed for AI innovation, ensuring technology is developed with real-world impact and for the benefit of humanity.”
The registration has opened and will close on March 22. 24 finalists – six per category – will be selected to compete live in Dubai at AREA 2071, Emirates Towers. The first day of championship will see competitions among six finalists in each of the four categories.
The top 3 participants across each category will be chosen for the final phase on the second day. Following two days of competing, top 3 prompt engineer winners will be selected and awarded. The competition will be evaluated based on speed, quality, and accuracy of the prompt engineering output by a specialized committee.
Last year’s edition attracted thousands of submissions from nearly 100 countries. Thirty participants from 13 countries, including Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Morocco, India, Singapore, the Dominican Republic, Austria, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates, competed in three main categories: Art, Literature, and Coding.
