The Photography Exhibition will be held between 12th and 19th of August at Deira City Centre from 10am to 10pm.

The event is a unique opportunity for photography enthusiasts to display their works and enroll in competitions. While professional photographers can participate in two categories, the exhibition and the competition, amateurs can only participate in the competition.

Exhibition category participants should submit 10-15 photographs on a Compact Disc with each image having a resolution of at least 5 megapixels per inch. The DSS Office will select the best few to be displayed at the event itself. The collection of photographs should have a unifying theme to be eligible for selection.

To enroll in the competition, themed 'Miles of Smiles', participants (professional and amateur) need to submit a maximum of three photographs depicting smiling children and families during DSS 2007 on a Compact Disc. Based on the competition, three winners will be chosen to take home prizes.

For entry into both or either of the categories, each application must be accompanied by a CD with the images, a one page profile and photograph of the participant, and a passport copy. The deadline for submitting applications is July 19, 2007.

A gala dinner is being organized on August 19th for participants and other photographers where the winners will be awarded, in addition to celebrating the International World Photographers Day. All participants are required to attend the opening and the awarding ceremony.

Applications forms are available at the DSF Office or can be downloaded from the DSS website. The completed forms need to be submitted to the DSS Office located at the first floor of the Department of Economic Development in Deira.

Launched in 1998, Dubai Summer Surprises was conceived as the foremost family entertainment event during the summer season for the whole of GCC. Targeted at visitors from outside the UAE and within the country, DSS has been a major entertainment and shopping attraction since its inception and witnessed 1,875,000 visitors in the year 2006 compared to 600,000 in 1998. The event has succeeded in positioning Dubai as the leading summer destination in the region.

The ten-week event is a celebration of different surprises that offer visitors and shoppers the perfect family entertainment opportunity and the ideal combination of shopping and adventure. Over the years DSS has hosted numerous surprises such as Food, Water, Global, Ice, Flower, Sports, Heritage, Arts, Techno, Cartoons, Colour, Sweets, Knowledge, and Back-2-School. The summer event lays special emphasis on children, who are provided all the opportunities to hone their skills while enjoying a fun-packed ten weeks of activities. DSS also has its own mascot, Modhesh, the ever smiling brand ambassador who embodies everything that the event stands for - fun, excitement, brightness and unlimited joy for children.

Dubai Summer Surprises as a venture has contributed significantly to the economy of Dubai and continues to do so by enhancing different economic sectors during a lean period of economic activity in summer. An increase in visitor expenditure from AED 850 million in 1998 to AED 2.57 billion in 2006 is a clear indication of the event's ability to drive economic growth during summer. Into its tenth year, Dubai Summer Surprises has come a long way by building on the successes of the previous editions and aims to create a benchmark for future years to provide the three most important characteristics of the event - shopping, winning, and entertainment.
