A meeting of the jury to finalise the results of the “IIUI Student Reel Contest 2025 – The Silent Hercules: Builders Behind the Scenes” was held at the Council Hall, Administration Block, International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI).
The competition was launched under the vision and directives of the IIUI President, Professor Dr Ahmed Saad Alahmed, with the aim of recognising the dedication of the university’s unsung heroes — the labourers and custodial staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes. A total of 14 shortlisted video reels were evaluated in the final round.
The jury included senior journalist and content creator Fiaz Mahmood (Express News); Dr Asma Mansoor, In-Charge Protocol and Public Relations; Dr Qurat ul Ain Malik and Dr Rooh ul Amin, Assistant Professors in the Department of Media and Communication Studies; Dr Inaam ul Haq, Director Administration; and Muhammad Nauman, Assistant Director Protocol and Public Relations.
Following a detailed assessment based on creativity, storytelling, technical quality and thematic relevance, the jury awarded first prize to Syeda Zainab Tehseen and her team. Muhammad Muzzamil Hussain secured second place, while Saqib Alam was awarded third prize.
The judges praised the creativity and enthusiasm of all participants, announcing that those who did not place in the top three would still receive certificates of appreciation.
A special ceremony will soon be held, during which the IIUI President will confer cash prizes, shields and certificates upon the winners and participants. The event will be organised by the Protocol and Public Relations Office.
