Perhaps you’ve heard – 2022 is a very special year for the Urdd, as we celebrate the organisation’s centenary! This is a great opportunity for children and young people to be a part of our history. Why not compete in the Eisteddfod this year to celebrate with us?

Every competitor has a responsibility to obtain the required permission to perform any own-choice songs at the Urdd Eisteddfod. These include action song compilations, songs from the musicals or instrumental copies. Failure to comply to these guidelines may lead to disqualification from the Eisteddfod.

Dyddiad cau i gofrestru ar-lein yn 2022 yw Dydd Llun, 14 Chwefror. Mi fydd cyfnod gwirio o 72 awr wedi’r dyddiad yma. Mae’ system gofrestru ar agor yn barod: Cystadlu | Urdd Gobaith Cymru

Sylwer: Newydd ers 2019 os nad yw’r copïau hunan-ddewisiad wedi cyrraedd yr Urdd wythnos wedi’r dyddiad cau, fe fydd yr Urdd yn dileu enw’r cystadleuydd o’r rhestr. Fe fyddwn yn delio gyda’r sefyllfa ar ôl hynny fel achos o Gofrestru Hwyr, sef taliad o ffi weinyddol o £25:00 os ydynt eisiau cystadlu. 

Cyfrifoldeb y cystadleuydd yw sicrhau bod pob caniatâd hawlfraint briodol wedi ei gasglu ar gyfer cynnwys unrhyw ddarnau hunan-ddewisiad o fewn y perfformiad yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd. Gall hyn gynnwys caneuon actol, caneuon allan o sioe gerdd neu gerddoriaeth offerynnol. Gall methu a chyflwyno tystiolaeth o'r caniatâd priodol arwain at gael eich diarddel o'r gystadleuaeth. Edrychwch ar dudalen 10 o’r rhestr testunau am yr holl wybodaeth.


Arts and Crafts for the Eisteddfod

Theme: Summit to Shore

Why not compete in our Arts and Crafts competition for the Eisteddfod this year? All the syllabus and guidelines are available in the attachment.

To enter a piece you must do this online by Tuesday the 5th of April 2022.

This year the competition will be slightly different. All judging for the arts and crafts competition will be done online. Each competitor will be expected to use their “Porth” log in. Either their personal “Porth” log in (if they are registering their own pieces) or through their branch’s log in (if your secretary is registering on behalf of a competitor).

More information regarding the arts and crafts competition will be sent to you at the start of April.
