The Hadiza Ibrahim Aliyu Schools Festival (HIASFEST) is excited to announce the beginning of its 2026 edition (The 8th Edition).
HIASFEST remains the most relevant art festival for secondary school students in Africa to express themselves, share ideas, and grow through friendly competition. Every year, students from different parts of the country come together to take part in a wide range of activities that bring out their creative strengths.
The festival offers students a chance to show what they can do; whether it’s in writing, art, performance, or other skills, while connecting with others who share similar interests.
As always, HIASFEST 2026 promises to be inspiring, engaging, and full of energy. If you’re a student or teacher, this is your moment to be part of something meaningful and memorable.
Stay tuned for all updates, including how to take part in this year’s edition. You can find the full HIASFEST 2026 Modalities for Participation below. Let’s keep the spirit of creativity and community alive as we get ready for another amazing season.
