Our story

From event coverage to a media movement

How Mora Lenz grew from a small media team into one of the most active clubs on campus.

The beginning
Founded to serve the university
Mora Lenz was established to meet the media needs of events held at the University of Moratuwa. A team of students set out to capture, announce and share the university's most important moments.
Growing up
Five pillars, five panels
The club grew into five creative pillars (Photography, Videography, Announcing, Creative Design, and Editorial & News), supported by five management panels that keep everything running smoothly.
2023
The first Mora Lenz Media Awards
Mora Lenz launched its all-island media competition, opening a national stage to school students and university undergraduates.
2024
Sandhwani lights up the night
The Sandhwani musical night, a blend of music and culture, filled the open area of the Sumanadasa Building. The second edition of the Media Awards followed in the same year.
2025
Bigger than ever
The third Media Awards drew more than 1,500 contestants from across the country, and Sandhwani returned to the Sumanadasa courtyard on 27 August 2025.
2026
The journey continues
With 31,000+ followers and the fourth edition of the Media Awards under way, Mora Lenz keeps telling the university's story.
