This year, our annual Islamic contest theme is based on our Interactive Fabric Book.
Art/Creativity Contest
The entry period starts on 1st December 2022 and ends on 16th December 2022.
Voting will start on 19th December 2022.
Winners will be announced on 26th December 2022 in shaa Allah.
Simple Steps to Enter
The contest is not endorsed by any social media channel (IG, FB, Twitter, etc.)
1: Post YOUR or/and your CHILD’s interactive 5-pillars-of-Islam craft on Social Media:
PLEASE NOTE that artwork with animate beings (that have full facial features) or the depiction of unseen (Angels/satan/hell/heaven etc.) will not be qualified. The contest is about design and creativity.
Instagram is most suitable for submissions because Facebook doesn’t coordinate well with tags (and in the past, we ended up losing a lot of entries). If you’re entering through Instagram, then the profile on which you post must be public and with hashtag included so other judges won’t miss the entries.
If you are submitting on behalf of your child, please mention the age when you post their creative submission (you don’t have to mention their name if you don’t want to). You or the child may use any medium of art and craft and can submit either as an image or a video. Your design should revolve around the theme “5 pillars of Islam” only – but you or your child may choose to only focus on one pillar from the 5 pillars as well for the interactive craft.
2: Tag and Follow AYEINA:
You should tag AYEINA in the image and caption (both) lest we lose your tag amidst the plethora of other notifications.
(Please do not email or DM (Direct Message) your entry – it won’t be accepted as it gets hard to track your submission that way. The submission should be posted AFTER 1st December 2022.
3: Tag at least THREE friends:
(This applies when the contest starts on 1st December 2022 in shaa Allah). Even if you don’t win, you’ll still be spreading the love of Islam around in shaa Allah (and what an honour that is!). You can tag more than 3 as well (may Allah make it sadaqah jaariyah for you). Follow AYEINA and the collaborators to stay updated! Please make sure to complete all 3 steps.

Other Details
* Shipping and prize – all are covered by the business involved in sending you the prize. But the customs of each country differ so if there are any custom charges involved in the reception of the prize, then the winner will be covering that according to the rules of their country.
I also want to leave this message here because I know how loss and disappointment can be such difficult topics to discuss with the kids as we only have one winner each year.
BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE! We look forward to receiving your entries! May Allah bless your efforts and increase you in knowledge.
I want to know after submissions, announcements of winners and all can we make our profile back to private again?
Yes sure sis. You can. We just don’t want to miss your entry because private account tags don’t show up. Looking forward to your submissions. Allahumma baarik.
Yes sis, you can! We will be compiling the best entries for another blog post though. Allahumma baarik!

May Allah reward you for your work.. jazakallahu khair

Where is the project of sister_of-deen
Assalam u alaikum Sadiya. Sister of deen submitted a beautiful entry. Scholars differ on the opinion of 3D Kabah structures. Hope this helps – https://islamqa.info/en/answers/192043/difference-of-opinion-regarding-making-a-model-of-the-kabah-in-order-to-teach-children-about-the-rituals – It’s a disputed matter so WAllahu a’lam, but best to stay on the safe side. May Allah reward her for her efforts.
Assalamu alaykum
Is there any way one can see the complete entries? It’s really hard to decide by looking at just one picture that doesn’t show the contestants’ complete entry.
Walaikum assalam. Please scroll down to see each finalist’s entry linked under the finalist category – as some people submitted videos, some images, and some slides. Hope that helps sis.
Assalamu alaikum
It would have been better and more fair on each contestant if you showed the whole craft instead of only one picture.
Walaikum assalam. Please scroll down to see each finalist’s entry linked under the finalist category – as some people submitted videos, some images, and some slides. Hope that helps sis.
