Effort Award Form for candidates
According to the last approvals made in the 10th General Assembly of the Islamic Federation of Women Sport (IFWS) in the year 2005 - Tehran, this Federation has decided to grant “The Award of Endeavour” for introducing and appreciating any individual or organization that had great efforts in developing sports among Muslim women in different arenas with global affects.
Pointing to the ancient legends in Iran, during the time of King Manouchehr Pishdadi, a severe war happened between Iranian and Tooranian. Eventually the kings of two regions accepted to send an archer to the peak of a mountain to shoot the arrows of their arches and so the place of the landing arrow will be the border of two regions.
Among the Iranian archers, Arash was volunteered to shoot from the peak of the Mount Damavand to the farthest possible point. With his faith, love, endeavor, and prejudice this arrow was flying through the air during a whole day and finally landed adjacent to the Amoo Sea on the shaft of walnut tree. From that time the landed point of the arrow became the border of Iran and Tooran, but our hero “Arash the Archer” that had used all his power to shoot the arrow died sadly after this event.
Statue of Effort
The Statue of Effort is designed according to the legend of “Arash the Archer” to recognize the humanity and efforts of some people that donates all they have, for saving and improving the lives of other humans.
Granting the “Statue of Endeavour” is a symbolic appreciation for anyone who displays his/her potential abilities in a best possible way and recognizes the nature of being a hero.
This statue is made under the supervision of Darvaag International Company, weighted 1.5 kg, and its size is17 x 17 x 31 cm.
After sending the special forms of nomination for granting the “Award of Effort” to the member countries, national, regional and international individuals and sport organizations (Islamic and Non-Islamic), finally 100 completed forms were forwarded to the secretariat of IFWS. Table No. 1 shows the candidates introduced for this award.
