This competition organized by IRCICA every three years since 1986 aims at protecting and promoting the classical art of Islamic calligraphy and acknowledging the artists. Each round of the competition is dedicated to a recognized master of this art in order to commemorate masters’ contributions and at the same time, to encourage young calligraphers to follow their examples.
The 11th competition implemented this year is dedicated to master of calligraphy Mehmed Shawqi Efendi (1829-1887).
613 participants from 38 countries submitted a total of 833 works to this competition. Awards totaling US$206.500 are distributed to the artists of 66 works selected by the Jury.
