Summary

The 2025 Qurโ€™an Competition hosted by the Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier (IOST) invites participants of all agesโ€”starting from five years oldโ€”to showcase their memorization and recitation skills. Taking place on Saturday, March 22, 2025, this event provides a unique opportunity for the community to come together in their dedication to the Qurโ€™an. Participants will recite privately before a panel of judges, who will assess them based on pronunciation, tajweed, memorization accuracy, and the beauty of their recitation. Winners will be honored with trophies, participation gifts, and over $2,000 in grand prizes, with the top contestants receiving the special privilege of reciting during the 27th Night of Ramadan. Registration is required, and all participants will be given a supportive environment to strengthen their connection with the Qurโ€™an. Open to both children and adults, this competition encourages growth in tajweed, memorization, and recitationโ€”an opportunity to learn, improve, and excel in the sacred words of Allah.
