He added, "First position holders are role models, and honouring them embodies the U.A.E. citizen's love for the top position." The public can place their nominations through Hash Tag #Awa'el_Al Emarat- Emirati First Position Holders.
Sheikh Mohammed added that the public can nominate persons in any field, such as the first U.A.E. coach, pilot, or other names of top ranking personalities in all fields. The winners will be honoured during a ceremony which will be attended by Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ministers and officials.
