Amazi Cup is an annual event held by the Bachelor of Nutrition Study Program, Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Airlangga, which is carried out under the auspices of the Airlangga University Nutrition Student Association (AMAZI). With the theme “Fund and Fit Balance Lifestyle” this year, Amazi Cup hopes that every nutrition student will be able to increase creativity and participation in obesity prevention and support the development of interests and talents in the fields of arts and sports. Amazi Cup consists of several competitions held from April 16 to 24, 2024. The implementation and assessment of the competition was carried out in various ways, some of which were carried out online and offline. On April 16 to 21, 2024, a badminton competition was held which was attended by the last three batches, from batches 2021, 2022, until 2023 and held at the Surabaya Badminton Court. Furthermore, from April 16 to 23, 2024, a 3D mading competition, a cooking video competition, and an A Day in My Life vlog competition were held.

This series of Amazi Cup events is relevant to SDGs 3, namely the Good Health and Well-Being. By organizing the Amazi Cup, it means that this activity also takes a role in dealing with obesity problems. Generally, obesity is caused by unhealthy diets and lack of exercise due to busy work schedules. Therefore, through the AMAZI CUP work program, it is hoped that it can be a means for nutrition students to channel their talents while carrying out obesity prevention activities, such as holding and participating in a series of competitions, both in sports and arts.

This series of activities begins with the competition participants registering themselves on April 7 to 15, 2024, followed by attending a technical meeting, and participating in a series of competitions within the time span according to the schedule set by the committee, namely April 16 to 23, 2024. The peak of the event was held on April 25, 2024 which was enlivened by the announcement of the competition winners as well as the awarding of prizes held at the Faculty of Public Health UNAIR.
