Summary

From the Library of Alexandria, presenter Muhammad Abdo Badawi announces the winners of the fifth season of Egypt’s National Reading Project for 2025–2026. Launched in March 2020, the project is described as a ten-year cultural initiative aligned with Egypt’s Vision 2030. The presenter says millions applied and 1,100 contestants reached the finals.

The project has four dimensions: the cultured student, the cultured university student, the cultured teacher, and enlightenment institutions. This video announces winners in the first three dimensions; it does not announce the special prizes for enlightenment institutions.

Reading levels

The competition’s three reading levels are based on the number of books read and summarized across different fields of knowledge:

• Silver: 30 books
• Gold: 50 books
• Diamond: 100 books

The presenter emphasizes that the names are not listed in order of rank. Final rankings will be revealed at the project’s closing ceremony. He also stresses that participation itself is valuable: nobody loses in the pursuit of knowledge and culture.
