"Blogging Ramadan" Competition.

Kesempatan untuk jadi blogger yang go internasional, Ada yang berminat?



Believing that Muslim culture is rich, diversified, and inspired by Muslims' writings and thoughts, Art & Culture Page Islamonline.net is launching "Blogging Ramadan" Competition.

Blogging Ramadan is fashioned to be a platform for Muslims to participate with their reflections on the meaning of Ramadan and how they celebrate it in the light of their cultures' diversity.

Blogging Ramadan aims:

• To introduce the participants' blog posts as a cultural expression of their  communities.
• To become one of the distinguished online communities of the Art & Culture's talented writers
• To focus on interaction as opposed to telling a one-sided story which will open the door to different traditions to present themselves
• To form an intra-Muslim dialogue as the participants' writings will help the readers to know the special traditions of Muslim communities.
