Biggie Events : Launches National Quran Competition

Prominent events promoter, Biggie Events, has announced that she is stepping away from organizing concerts to focus on her personal growth and religion.

Biggie made this announcement today during the official press launch of The National Quran Competition at the Kampala Serena Hotel. The competition is set to take place on February 23, 2025, and will become an annual event.

“Music concerts have really stressed me, and I believe it’s time to step away and focus on bringing back the values and norms of Islam,” she said.

She further revealed that her recent pilgrimage to Makkah inspired her decision. “I prayed to Allah and expressed my wish to unite all Muslims as one community. Together with the IRAJI Foundation, this dream has now taken shape through the launch of the competition,” Biggie added.

It’s worth noting that Biggie Events has been behind some of the biggest concerts in Uganda, including shows for legendary musician Dr. Jose Chameleone, who is currently hospitalized in critical condition.

The competition aims to promote Islamic culture and values among young people, targeting participants aged 16 to 20 years. The winner will walk away with a brand-new car and will also receive the opportunity to travel to Makkah, the holiest place in Islam.
