Iran to Send 2 Representatives to Kuwait Int’l Quran Contest
The 9th edition of Kuwait’s international Quranic event is slated to be held in April 2018.
The organizers have recently sent an invitation to Iranian Quranic officials for dispatching the country’s representatives to the competition.
Mehdi Gholamnejad and Mohammad Javad Delfani are the Qari and memorizer selected to represent Iran at the event.
The two respectively won top titles in the recitation and memorization categories of Iran’s 40th national Quran competition earlier this year.
The contest, known as the Kuwait Quran Prize, is annually held under the patronage of the ruler of the Arab country.
In the 2017 edition, it saw the participation of 123 contestants from 69 countries.
Iran’s representatives at the competition in April 2017 were Mojtaba Mohammadbeigi (recitation) and Davoud Fallahi Meybodi (memorization).
