Our MSA has been invited to participate in the 14th annual Qira'atul Quran Competition (QQC). This year QQC will be hosted at ISNA Canada Centre on February 24, 2013.
Two brothers and two sisters will be selected to represent our MSA. As always, the competition will focus mainly on tajweed and memorization and competitors will be marked by a neutral panel of judges (the sisters and brothers separately). The surah for this year's QQC will be Surat Al Naml.
There will be a pre-test happening early next week inshaa'Allah, where you can read a portion of your choice from Surrah Al-Naml.

Latest by Saturday night, and we will contact you inshaa'Allah.

The first place winners from both the brothers' and sisters' competitions will be awarded cash for their respective MSA's and the reciter with the highest score overall will receive an Ummrah ticket Inshallah.
