This nomination, announced by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organization, recognizes the project as the sole representative for the Kingdom in the government media sector category.

Just a year after its launch in 2023, "Media Oasis" joins the ranks of over a thousand global projects competing for this accolade. This nomination highlights the concerted efforts of the Ministry of Information and its partners from both the government and private sectors. Together, they have participated in five editions of the Media Oasis, both local and international, showcasing the significant collaborative work that presents to the world the major achievements of the Kingdom's national transformation projects.

"Media Oasis" has made its mark locally and internationally, aligning with the Kingdom's participation in numerous global events and its hosting of several international and regional conferences.
