The Dubai International Content Market (DICM) — set to take place November 10-11, 2026, at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai — will see the return of Spotlight Stories, a pitching challenge designed to discover original Arabic content ideas and connect creators with experienced industry decision-makers.
The winning script will receive the opportunity to move closer to production through a collaboration with AFLAM Production. Malek Jaber, head of Content at AFLAM, will give the selected storyteller the chance to take their idea beyond the pitching stage and into a professional development and production environment.
Following the submission and selection process, shortlisted storytellers will pitch their projects live at DICM on November 11, in front of an expert jury and an audience of industry professionals.
The selection process will be managed by Sinan Mawad, founder & CEO of Writables, who is joining the jury alongside content specialist Mishel Zreik and Madonna Khafaja, founder of Whitebee Media.
