Roznama is a periodical competition and exhibition for contemporary visual art by young Egyptians, organized by Medrar for Contemporary Arts. The competition’s objective is to encourage creative contemporary artworks, which are different from the classical forms taught at art academies. This is achieved through providing a space for experimentation, research, and mixed media and multimedia production. Roznama also takes an interest in traditional art forms, such as painting, sculpting, and avant-garde photography. Roznama aspires to become a platform that presents distinguished artworks, introducing artists from Egypt and supporting them by all possible means.

Roznama 5 is supported by Peacock, and Yunus Emre Institute (Turkish Cultural Center in Cairo)
