Widely regarded as one of the most successful competitive festival of its type in the world, the Sydney Eisteddfod offers three hundred-plus classical and contemporary events for singers, dancers, actors and
musicians. There are also sections for choirs, bands and orchestras, along with creative categories for composers, writers and poets.
While the competition attracts serious contenders from across the nation it is open to all and includes something for everyone. The reasons why people enter the Edteddfod are many - some enter to test their skills before a live audience, others simply for fun, but as performing in public is great for confidence building, whatever paths entrants follow in future life, the self-assurance they gain through competing will always serve them well. Entering an Eisteddfod is one of those experiences in life when the prize is often more the experience and it is won by those that give it a go.
This year, there will be an added incentive for entrants from regional New South Wales and other States as some financial assistance will be available through the Sydney Eisteddfod Travel Fund for those who have to return to Sydney to compete in a final.
Entries close 22 March and can be lodged online. The 2010 festival will open on 1 June and conclude on 26 September.
