Each city holds its own round to decide its finalists.
Each city submits up to 2 finalists per category.
The final runs 31 October – 1 November.
Age is calculated as of 31 October 2026 and must be verifiable with a birth certificate or passport. Each participant competes in one category only. False age information leads to disqualification.
Recitation is from memory, in the riwayah of Hafs. The judges choose the passage and announce it on stage. What each category prepares:
• 1-juz categories — either Juz 1 or Juz 30 (you choose one).
• 5-juz category — either Juz 1–5 or Juz 26–30.
• 30-juz category — the entire Qur'an, all 30 juz.
Judges score memorization accuracy, tajweed, and voice and fluency. If a participant stalls, a judge may prompt — each prompt deducts points. The judges' decision is final.
Participants must check in at their assigned time. Dress code: boys and men — white top and black bottom; girls and women — modest, respectful clothing. Stage etiquette is expected and phones stay on silent. The committee may adjust the schedule if needed.
Filming and photography strictly follow each participant's consent choice from the form. Personal data is used only to run this competition.
