The dedication of lecturers and academics as judges in Islamic quiz competitions is not only aimed at assessing the abilities of participants, but also plays a role in guiding and inspiring the younger generation to study Islamic teachings more deeply. This community service research aims to examine the contribution of academics as judges in Islamic quiz competitions, as well as to analyze the impact of the judges from academic circles on participants' understanding of Islam. This community service activity is carried out in three stages, namely the preparation stage, the implementation stage, and the evaluation of the competition. Based on the results of observations, academics play a strategic role in improving the quality of the competition, including aspects of technical judging, coaching, material development, and objective evaluation. In addition, the role of academics as judges also has a significant impact on competition participants, both cognitively, affectively, and psychomotorically. Despite experiencing a number of challenges, this can be overcome with more thorough preparation and continuous evaluation. Keywords: Community service, quiz competition, Islamic insight.]]>
