Annual National Quranic Reading and Recitation competitions open for applications in Singapore

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) has opened registration for the Annual National Quranic Reading (Tilawah) and Recitation (Tahfiz) competitions.

Both competitions aim to discover new talent in the field of reading and reciting the Quran, raise the quality of Quranic reading and recitation, and encourage an interest in both practices. Competitors may represent Singapore for international Quran competitions.



Competitors are judged on their pronunciation, fluency, song and voice for the Tilawah competition and on recitation, pronunciation and fluency for the Tahfiz competition.


Singaporeans or permanent residents of Singapore may participate.
