The 11th Annual NSW Ramadan Quran Competition organised by Al Tadhkirah Institute NSW. An annual Quran competition held during Ramadan designed to inspire love for the Quran among students across Sydney. Students compete in Quran recitation and memorisation with prizes across four competition groups.
February 13 - 21, 2026
The Annual Ramadan Quran Competition is one of the key events held by Al Tadhkirah Institute. With thousands of students from Sydney and across Australia participating every year, the event takes place each year during Ramadan in every state of Australia.
Our main goal behind the event is to inspire a love for the Quran, especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan. We focus on highlighting the importance of the Quran and encourage everyone to read, memorise, and study it.
This year, for the fourth year, we will be inviting the Top 3 Position Holders of Group D (Memorisation of Any 5 Juz) to the Australian National Quran Competition, which will be held in Canberra later this year.
It's a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their Quran recitation and memorisation skills, while also bringing the community together to celebrate the Quran. We highly encourage everyone to participate and experience the blessings of the Quran in their lives.
Further details of the National Competition will be shared soon.
