COTABATO CITY – At least 2 dozen miniature mosques are now on display here as the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) officially an exhibit of ‘Mosques Around the World’.
The exhibit is a competition event with participation from the region’s different offices and agencies. Participants constructed three-dimensional miniature replicas of renowned mosques from different parts of the world.

Each modelled mosque is displayed in a 1.5 cubic-meter glass box. A poster is displayed beside the model containing its name, country of origin, history, and significance. Criteria for judging are: Conformity and attention to detail (50%), Workmanship and quality (30%), and Presentation and overall impact (20%).
