The Eisteddfod and the Arts Board’s recent decisions
Fixed Time Rule – the following was decided:
• Up to 30 seconds = no penalty
• 30 seconds – 1 minute = 5 marks deducted
• 1 minute – 2 minutes = 10 marks deducted
• 2 minutes – 3 minutes = 15 marks deducted
This rule will be operational during the 2010 Eisteddfod.
Competing in the Eisteddfodau Cylch (Local Eisteddfod)
Following a meeting of the Eisteddfod and the Arts Board, and the Urdd National Council, it was decided that:
we permit schools, if they desire, to continue to hold a school eisteddfod, and to send representatives to the Eisteddfod Gylch, but that we also permit every member of the Urdd to compete in the Eisteddfod Gylch if that is the wish of the member or parent. We also encourage leaders and teachers to ensure that every competitor attending the Eisteddfod Gylch is able to perform the piece/task in question.
So to re-iterate, every member of the Urdd is entitled to compete within their age-specific categories in Eisteddfod yr Urdd and local Eisteddfod Gylch competitions. If you would like more information regarding the above, please contact your local Development Officer (details can be found under Your Area on www.urdd.org) or contact the Eisteddfod yr Urdd office.
Broadcasting from the Eisteddfod
The Eisteddfod has permission to televise or broadcast any Eisteddfod activities without consulting with competitors or adjudicators beforehand. Any recognition given will therefore be property of the Eisteddfod.
The Urdd Eisteddfod will collect information on all contestants at the backstage registration desk. The information will be shared with the broadcasters to support them in their coverage of the event.
At any time, you may ask for further details as to how we process and share your information.
Under data protection legislation you may ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, for this there may be a small charge. You may also request that we amend any inaccurate data we hold about you.
By answering the researcher at the desk, you consent to us using the information that you are giving us for the purposes described.
