Introducing the Revived George Eisteddfod
We are thrilled to announce the triumphant return of the George Eisteddfod, a vibrant and inclusive celebration of arts and culture that has been rejuvenated with a renewed purpose and passion. With a rich history as a cultural cornerstone of the George area, the newly reinstated George Eisteddfod is set to shine brighter than ever before, embracing innovation and inclusivity.
Our mission in reinstating this cherished event has been shaped by a clear vision – to build an eisteddfod that encompasses the following key objectives:
1. Affordability and Accessibility: The new George Eisteddfod is committed to creating an affordable platform that warmly welcomes all schools in the region. We believe that every young artist should have the opportunity to showcase their talent and creativity.
2. Mobile Adjudication: In an effort to foster a sense of unity and collaborative spirit among local schools, we have introduced a unique feature: we bring the eisteddfod to your school. This innovative approach allows for a collective adjudication structure, enriching the quality of internal eisteddfods for participating schools.
3. Eliminating Travel Hassles: Recognizing the challenges associated with travel, we're dedicated to reducing the barriers students face when pursuing their artistic passions. Our mobile eisteddfod means participants can focus on their performance, not the logistics.
4. Wider Reach: The George Eisteddfod aims to cast a wider net, seeking out and nurturing the artistic talents of more students within the George area. Our goal is to ignite creativity in every corner of our community.
5. Regional Platform: As a stepping stone to greater aspirations, the George Eisteddfod will serve as a regional platform for entries. It's a chance for local talent to shine on a bigger stage before moving on to the Garden Route Eisteddfod stage, furthering the growth and recognition of our talented artists.
