Zaid Horani, a student at the King Abdullah II School of Information Technology at the University of Jordan (UJ), has advanced to the final round of the third edition of the Digital Creator Awards (DCA) in Qatar, representing both Jordan and UJ in the Humanitarian Impact category. His selection among only five Arab talents to reach the pre-final stage highlights his growing footprint in purposeful digital content creation.
This accomplishment, Horani’s second consecutive achievement in the competition, reinforces the rising presence of UJ students on regional platforms dedicated to creativity and innovation. It also reflects the University’s sustained efforts to empower young creators capable of producing human-centered digital work that addresses social and community issues with measurable impact.
Established in 2023, the Digital Creator Awards have become a prominent regional platform celebrating Arab content creators and showcasing innovative initiatives across multiple fields, particularly those with humanitarian value. The Qatar-hosted event continues to attract a diverse range of digital talents whose work contributes to positive social change.
UJ expressed its pride in Horani’s progression to the final round, affirming that his success demonstrates the readiness and strong competencies of its students to compete within the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Despite the varied experiences of this year’s finalists, Horani’s work has stood out for its clarity of purpose and community-driven approach.
Horani described reaching the finals as “a meaningful opportunity to create tangible impact within my community.” He noted his continued commitment to producing accessible, human-focused content that brings needed attention to worthy stories, emphasizing that public support remains essential to sustaining this mission.
