Surabaya – Institut Teknologi Kalimantan (ITK) has once again earned the Gold Winner award in the Social Media subcategory at Anugerah Humas Diktisaintek 2026. Presented at the Airlangga Convention Center, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, on Tuesday (November 10, 2026), the award marks ITK’s fifth consecutive year of receiving this recognition, from 2022 to 2026.

This achievement reflects the consistency of ITK’s Public Relations team in managing social media as a platform for university public communication. Amid changing digital trends and public information needs, ITK’s social media continues to showcase campus life, share educational information, and highlight the achievements and work of its academic community.

ITK’s social media awards over the five years are:

• 2022: Gold Winner – Social Media.
• 2023: Gold Winner – Social Media.
• 2024: Gold Winner – Social Media.
• 2025: Gold Winner – Social Media.
• 2026: Gold Winner – Social Media.

Maintaining Gold Winner status for five years requires sustained effort. Social media management involves gathering and verifying information, developing narratives, producing photographs and videos, creating visual designs, and publishing content. Each stage contributes to delivering content that is both engaging and trustworthy.

For ITK, social media also connects the university with prospective students, parents, current students, alumni, and the wider community. Information about admissions, academic activities, research, community service, and campus achievements helps the public get to know ITK better.

This success is supported by collaboration across the university. Lecturers, education support staff, and students contribute stories and information that are developed into content to reach wider audiences.

The 2026 award encourages ITK’s Public Relations team to continue developing its creativity while maintaining information accuracy. Changes in how people access content call for responsive social media management, with communication that is easy to understand and relevant to audiences’ everyday lives.

Five consecutive Gold Winner awards mark an important milestone in ITK’s digital communication journey. This achievement further strengthens its commitment to providing university social media that is informative, creative, and beneficial to the public.
