The festival is officially designated as the Thanafusالتنافس Annual Arts Festival, hosted exclusively by Al Jamiathul Kauzariyyaالجامعة الكوثرية as an internal league for all active students.
The Musabaqaالمسابقة is conducted strictly every single academic year. It serves as the primary co-curricular cornerstone for evaluating student talent and spiritual leadership.

The festival is contested between exactly four campus squads. The representative team names, banners, slogans, and official team colors are decided entirely by each respective team leader.
First, four leaders are selected from the last year class. They then take turns selecting team members one by one (draft-style) until no student is left, ensuring equal distribution of talent.

Evaluations in Memorization (Hifzالحفظ accuracy), Qira'at (vocal maqamat, Tajweedالتجويد guidelines), and Tafseer (structural analysis of selected verses).
