Davood Jafari,
the secretary of the international Qaree Al-Jumhoor (قارئ الجمهور)competition, said that the reason for holding it is to choose the best reciter from the world's point of view. This is a new method with the presence of international judges from all over the world. The reciters of the Qur'an will be selected both through judging and popular voting.
This initiative is specific to Fajr Quranic festivals in Iran and has never been done in any Islamic country
