The Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament, or for short MIST,is a fun, educational, and interactive program of competitions and workshops designed for Muslim youth in high school. It is a weekend long event consisting of 26 competitions. MIST unites high school students and strives to develop leadership skills, communication skills, and a deeper understanding of Islam and Muslims. It is an opportunity for high school students to showcase their talents, hobbies, skills and hard work.
Categories and the competitions within them are as follows:
ARTS : 2D Art, 3D Art, Digital Art, Fashion Design, Photography, Web Design
GROUP PROJECTS: Short Film, Nasheed/ Rap, Community Service, Newsletter, Research Project, Science Fair, Scrapbook
MIST isn't only about the competitions though. There are a number of lectures/ workshops relating to topics and issues relevant to Muslim youth in high school. Gender Relations? Community Work? Med School? The Character of a Muslim? Topics such as these and many more are covered during interactive, engaging workshops.
When and Where?
MIST is scheduled to take place March 26-28, 2010at Hofstra University (in Hempstead, Long Island). The theme for this year is: Lantern of Modesty: Reflecting the Light from Within.
MIST is relatively new to the area but has been successful nationwide. Our annual tournaments take place in 8 different regions of North America, including Houston, DC, Atlanta, Toronto, Detroit, Boston, and California. MIST was held in NY for the first time this past April.
You can watch a video slideshow of this past year's MIST here.
Form a team: Gather your Muslim peers from high school (even non-Muslims can participate). A team starts at 2 people and can include 20+ members. Choose a team name. Ex: The Bronx Science Brigade (representing Bronx Science High School).
Find a coach: A coach must be 21+ years of age, and supervises the team during the tournament.
“O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honored of you in Gods sight is the greatest of you in piety. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware. [49:13]
