Questions

When does registration open for 2027 Quran competitions?

It varies. The Dubai International Holy Quran Award’s 1448H/2027 edition took applications in July and August 2026, with public voting from 8 to 16 February 2027. Local competitions usually announce a few weeks to a few months ahead.
