Participants are judged in the area of clear pronunciation of Gurbani, understanding of Gurbani, language, clarity, style and delivery. Cash prizes, trophies and other awards are pre-sented to participants depending upon their performance and available budget. Punjabi speaking participants receive special cash prizes at the final contest. 

This is an excellent opportunity for participants to understand Gurbani and discuss Guru Ji's message from select Pauris of the Japji Sahib.
