In search of Islamic Calligraphy
Calligraphy is considered to be a highly creative art form in Islamic Art, as it does not portray any figures of living beings for religious reasons. Calligraphy is also considered to be meditative and relaxing. It allows you to see each word and phrase. Calligraphy is a form of art that emphasizes the beauty and history of the written word.
This Ramadan, Youth Opportunities is organizing a calligraphy competition titled “City Islamic presents In search of Islamic Calligraphy” to encourage young calligraphers of Bangladesh in Islamic art and culture. The purpose of this competition is to revive and promote the classical art of Islamic calligraphy. Along with promoting Islamic art and culture, this competition provides a platform for the youth of Bangladesh to express themselves in this form of art, and also be productive during this pandemic.
So if you are a Calligraphy Enthusiast, don’t wait up. Participate in the competition and win exciting prizes.
