The top 25 competitors will receive prizes including refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, and other rewards.
Addressing the event, Akij Ibos Limited CEO Zayed Bin Rashid stated, "It is essential to create positive alternatives to steer young people away from drugs, online betting, and other harmful addictions.

"This initiative is designed to ensure that our youth contribute to the growth of the domestic gaming industry, rather than relying on foreign platforms. It stands as a digital CSR endeavour by Akij Resource dedicated to the younger generation," he said.
The event was attended by Akij Resource Chief People Officer Md Afsar Uddin, Chief Business Development Officer Towfique Hassan, Cluster CEO of Akij Building Solutions Limited Asadul Haque Sufyani, Head of Corporate Services Major Zahidul Hassan (Retd), lead developer of 'Qurbani Run' Jubayer Al Hasan, and other senior officials of Akij Resource.
