Corrections:
1. Web Design (P. 29, Rule #8) – 750 words maximum
2. Basketball – The general rule remains that a student may only compete in one competition per category, but Basketball is the exception.

Just remember that if you compete in Basketball, you must be signed up for and participate in at least one other competition (from any category).
3. Tafseer Test & MIST Bowl Tafseer Packet (p. 20) – The translation for verse 17 of Surah Balad (Chapter 90) should read: “Then he became one of those who believed, and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to piety and compassion.”
4. The Short Film Entry Form can be found here.
5. Tafseer Test (P. 9, Rule #6) – “Open-book” means you are allowed to have an English translation of the Quran (without commentary) during the test. No other supplemental material is allowed.
