The contribution

What did you build, improve, solve or make possible? Describe your own role, alongside the people who helped.

The evidence

Support the story with approved results, a public project link, an award or examples of your work. Use numbers only when you can substantiate them.

The perspective

Share a lesson, a decision or an ambition that helps readers understand the person behind the achievement.

BEFORE YOU SUBMIT

Bring the story, and the details behind it.

A concise introduction is enough to start. Our team may request more context or an interview after reviewing your submission.

Your spotlight questions.

Who can introduce a story?

Professionals, managers, specialists, founders, graduates and students with a meaningful connection to Saudi Arabia can submit a story.

Do I need a senior job title?

No. A specific contribution, promising project or thoughtful professional lesson matters more than seniority.

Can I nominate someone else?

Yes. Explain their contribution and provide a public profile or source. Their participation and permissions will be confirmed before publication.

What happens after I submit?

The team reviews the story and contacts you if more information is needed or the feature is selected for development.

Will a spotlight help me get a job?

A spotlight presents your experience and contribution. It does not guarantee employment or hiring priority. Apply for vacancies separately through the employer’s instructions.
