Doha: Young reciters of the Holy Quran all around the world can now submit their entries to the 2013 edition of “Tijan Al Noor”, the widely-acclaimed yearly Holy Quran Recitation Contest organised by Al Jazeera Children’s channel (JCC).
Held in Ramadan, “Tijan Al Noor” hosts children aged 9-13 years from around the world, and honours outstanding performers. The Pan-Arab children’s channel of choice for many Arab children and families said young reciters can upload their recitations on its website www.jcc-quran-competition.tv
The deadline for receiving entries is end of January 2013, and the contest episodes will be aired in Ramadan. The contest aims to communicate and instill supreme values in children, while promoting the correct use of classical Arabic and encouraging children to study, and recite the Holy Quran.
A panel comprising of prominent clerics and scholars specialised in Quran studies and readings will evaluate reciters based on knowledge of intonation rules, quality of sound and performance, and recitation modulation. The assessment will determine the contestants who will qualify for the next stages of the competition.The Peninsula
