Assalamualaykum,
Dear sisters of UCDISOC, you're cordially invited to participate in our Girls' Runway Competition, which will be held in conjunction with UCD Islamic Awareness Week.
Sorry if this email has reached any brothers. Please don't feel bad about it.
The competition will be held on Wednesday, 20th February 2008 in the Islamic Cultural Centre Ireland, Clonskeagh. Early notice is given to enable sisters to prepare early! Only sisters are involved, so no worries! And its a good opportunity to meet sisters from other ISOCs in Ireland, It'll be a night to remember. inshaAllah
The objective of this event is to educate and encourage sisters to dress accordingly, blending the Irish culture into Islamic culture and to provide a healthy competition between sisters. Hopefully, the outcome of this event will be beneficial, and increase our self esteem.
This competition is between universities. Each university is given four themes, where they will battle out on the runway. The themes are;
i. School
ii. Professional/ Workplace
iii. Daily and going out
iv. Events (e.g.- marriage, Eid parties, graduation and such)
For each theme, each university must send at least one model and at most 6 models.
Six prizes will be given for the best presentation of each theme, best model and for an overall winner. The winners will be judged according to the Islamic syariah in the Irish culture, originality, makeup and runway.
The one and only rule is that every sister must cover their aurah when on the runway.
