How to Enter - Entries, Schedule and Rules

All entries closed on 30 June 2024, however, you can still view the 2024 Schedule of Sections Offered (PDF), including the General Conditions and Eisteddfod Rules.

1. Please ensure that you read the following document:

The 2024 Schedule of Sections Offered (PDF) which includes the General Conditions of Entry and the Eisteddfod Competition Rules. This document contains a list of all the events into which you can enter (known as 'sections'), and specifies any special restrictions or requirements for particular sections. You may enter into as many items you wish to that you are eligible for.

On the day of your performance, please arrive at the registration desk for check-in, with a copy of your music/script (if applicable) for the adjudicator no later than 20 minutes before the commencement of the session your section is rostered for. We cannot guarantee that other entrants will turn up, and whole sections have occasionally been cancelled due to withdrawals.

(Please note, if your discipline provides an accompanist and you intend to make use of their services, you must make contact with the accompanist at least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled performance. The accompanist may decline to accompany an entrant if this courtesy has not been observed).
