Tunisia Int’l Quran Contest Aimed at Promoting Fraternity
According to the website of the ministry, it also seeks to enhance fraternity among the participants and honor Quran activists from different countries.
Known as the Tunisia Award, the competition is annually organized in the two categories of recitation and memorization of the Quran.
It had been planned to be held in January 2017 but was postponed to March.
Tunisia has not still announced the exact date of the contest but has published the regulations and conditions for the contenders.
According to the regulations, those attending the memorization category should be memorizers of the entire Quran.
Qaris, meanwhile, should not be among prominent Quran reciters internationally or in their own country.
The age limit for participants in the category of memorization is between 15 and 25. It is 20 and 40 for Qaris.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is among the countries that sends representatives to the North African country to attend its international Quranic event.
In 2014, Iran’s Mahmoud Nowruzi won the third title in the recitation category of Tunisia’s 4th international Holy Quran competition.
