CATEGORY I: THE ARTS

ANASHEED [Brothers’ & Sisters’] 

Anasheed is vocal music sung in praise of Allah 'Azza wa Jall, His Prophet (SAW) or has a good message that is either sung a cappella (voice only) or accompanied by percussion instrument called the daff. The purpose of this competition is to educate the youth about the teachings of Islam through one of society’s most influential mediums and allow them to produce aesthetically pleasing acoustics in conformity with Islam.

There will be separate competitions for brothers and sisters. Hence, your Nasheed group must either be all male or all female. All competitors must be prepared to perform in front of an audience.

Males will be kept out of the Sisters Anasheed performance; however, the brothers’ performances will be open to all viewers.

 THEME: Revive the Light Within; Let the Change Begin

Competition Guidelines:
1.  Nasheed groups may consist of a MINIMUM OF 1 AND MAXIMUM OF 4 MEMBERS. All members of a group must be from the same SIST team.
2.  MAXIMUM 2 performances are allowed per team. These 2 performances can be:
                       I.            Solo and Solo;
                     II.            Solo and Group;  or
                  III.            Group and Group.
The choice is open. Each group however cannot be more than 4 members
3.     The Nasheed can be in ENGLISH, URDU OR ARABIC. It must have relevant to the theme.
Although extra points will be awarded for original compositions, participants may perform the work of another artist/Nasheed-writer, given that they mention this point to the judges before their performance. Anasheed discovered to be plagiarized which were stated by the participants to be their own composition will result in the team’s disqualification from competition.
4.     Each group will be required to perform their anasheed in front of an audience. The performance should not exceed 5 minutes. Points will be deducted from the total score if the performance exceeds the allotted time.
5.     The ONLY instrument that can be used for the performance is the daff (a one-sided drum).
Remember to be creative! Non-instrumental sound effects such as clapping, humming etc are permitted. Groups must bring their own props as none will be supplied by the SIST management.
4.     The lyrics of the anasheed must be submitted at least 1 week before the start of the tournament for approval by the SIST Committee, along with a short, typed explanation (about half a page long) about why the Nasheed was composed/ selected.
5.     The judges’ decision will be final.
