Yeah he should be. Which should spice up a few things up for the contest. Muezzin's had a
lot more writing experience than I have that's for sure; but I've been brewing a couple of ideas for quite some time (since last year to be precise) so the competition will be interesting. Nothing like a nice bit of sibling rivalry to stir things up.
Should be fun!

Perhaps,if we have enough supporting that idea too,insha'Allaah. But I'm sure you'll do fine,not everyone is good at English yet they are trying,sister I encourage the same to you and others. But if we have enough then we will,insha'Allaah:).

How about 5000 words maximum with no set subject?
I'm sure that's what was agreed months ago...
