Community Service Project
Topic: Must relate to Theme
The following is a list of rules and procedures for this category:
- MIST ID and order of competition will be pre-assigned on a random selection basis.
- Competitors shall report at the appropriate time and place designated.
- Judges shall know the competitors by their MIST IDs.
- The community service project team must register no less than 2 members and no more than 6 members. More than 6 people can work on the project. But only 6 can register.
- Each participating team must conduct a community service project that reflects this year's theme.
- Each team must have a student director who will present the project to the Judges.
- One submission per MIST Team.
- The project idea must be emailed dcmist (at) gmail (dot) com for approval or else the project cannot enter the competition. Send an alternative idea as well. Ideas should be emailed no later than February 4th, 2008.
- When submitting the project on the day of the tournament, students must also submit a typed Project Outline.
- Students must also bring a display board, and any other supplemental material to the tournament.
- Each project will be displayed at MIST and judged at the tournament.
- Project ideas must be original and innovative. Projects ideas such as "cleaning up the masjid" where students go to the masjid one day and clean it up are not original or innovative. However, if you want to "Clean Your Masjid", a better idea would be to start a cleaning campaign where students have to start a recycling project, raise money to plant trees and flowers, raise money and paint the walls of the mosque, get all the community members involved in the clean up effort...etc. If you do something that's been done many times before, you must think outside the box and make it unique. (This example does not apply for this year's project)
- Your community service project cannot be a 1 day or a 3 hour project. It must span long periods of time and benefit the community at large.
Project Outline
The following is a list of requirements for the Project Outline:- Typed, double spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt.
- Cover page with title of project and MIST IDs only, stapled on the left side.
- Executive Summary: A summary of your project, outcomes, problems. No more than a few paragraphs long.
- Purpose: What would you like to see achieved through this project? State each goal your team has in mind. What problem(s) in our community will it take a step towards solving?
- Procedure: How do you plan to reach this goal? (List all steps you think will be involved in order to accomplish your goal) Who will be involved, and in what ways?
- Data: Anything you like to show us or explain can be displayed on the board. Include who was involved in the project, along with what everyone did.
- Conclusion: How did the actual procedure differ from what you originally planned? What were some obstacles that you faced?
- Discussion: How was the project integral to Islam? How does it relate to this year’s MIST theme? What are some ways you would like to expand this project in the future?
- Judging Criteria will be based upon the official MIST National Ballot.
