Since its inception, 2.5 million young Australian singers, dancers, actors and
musicians have given their first public performances at Sydney Eisteddfod.
Today, many of the principal performers in the major national performing arts
institutions remember Sydney Eisteddfod with gratitude and affection – for giving
them a vital opportunity to demonstrate their talents and hone their crafts.
Every year we discover breathtakingly, prodigiously gifted young people.
We aspire to do everything in our power to help them on their way, to ensure
they realise their potential.
Our aim is to offer many more scholarships and bursaries to help our deserving
performers receive the tuition and assistance they need to develop their talents
to the full.
Your generous support will help these young people achieve their dreams.

requested by an official (e.g. copy of birth certificate, etc) or risk
disqualification. Random age checks may be carried out. A group
member in contempt of age requirements will render the whole
group liable to disqualification and possible bar from participation
the following year.
16. Age limits do not apply to non-playing/non-singing conductors
and private/official accompanists.
PERFORMANCE
17. Entrants perform at their own risk. Entrants agree they are of
good health and fitness and physically able to participate in an
event. No liability will be accepted for any injury sustained whilst
carrying out that performance.
18. Entrants are expected to be prepared for their event at the time of
performance. Sydney Eisteddfod representatives and adjudicators
are not permitted to advise, interpret or vary any rules, conditions
You may wish to refer to our FAQs on our Sydney Eisteddfod website: sydneyeisteddfod.com.au/frequently-asked-questions/ for other useful information.
‘Category’ is a grouping of like events.
or any aspect of the conduct of the Festival, and the Eisteddfod
will not accept responsibility for any effect arising from such
unauthorised comment.
19. Entrants (or a representative) must register with the Session
Manager or as directed AT LEAST 15 MINUTES before the
start of the session or EST time (Estimated Starting Time)
as advertised. Please allow time for transport delays or
parking.
20. Registration can be only accepted prior to the Session
Manager declaring the session open. Late registration, or
those who miss their turn, may perform at the end of the
event or division for ‘comments only’ - not for a placing, and
subject to time.
21. Entrants must appear in strict numerical order except in
circumstances approved in advance by the Eisteddfod. Such
requests must be submitted, with appropriate evidence within
10 working days before the event date via email to: entries@
sydneyeisteddfod.com.au. The order of performance in Finals is
at the discretion of the Eisteddfod. All entrants must be ready to
perform when called.
22. An event or division with an EST will never commence before this
time but may commence after this time if the preceding event or
division runs overtime.
23. A copy of ‘Own Choice’ material must be provided for the
adjudicator (unless the event states otherwise) and should
be given to the Session Manager when registering on the
day of performance. Only original published music (submitted at
your own risk) should be collected immediately at the conclusion
of the event. Photocopies will not be returned as per APRA/
AMCOS Policy. The onus of choosing the correct material rests
with the entrant. Suitability, quality of choice and degree of
difficulty are taken into consideration by the adjudicator.
24. Published or unpublished work is allowed unless a ‘Test’ is
specified. No personal transposition of music is permitted
except in folk song, junior vocal, contemporary singing, choral,
instrumental solo and group events.
25. A different item is required for each event unless repeats are
specifically allowed. Items performed in a Heat must be repeated
in the Final unless otherwise stipulated. If it is specifically
indicated that an item may be repeated, it may be repeated ONLY
ONCE except when progressing to a Final. An entrant found
repeating an item other than where allowed will be eligible for
‘comments only’ - not for a placing.
26. Groups performing in Finals must consist of the same individuals
as in the Heats, without augmentation unless prior permission is
sought and granted by the Eisteddfod.
27. Performances must be kept within specified time limits. If a
performance goes under a stipulated minimum or over the
maximum time, the entrant will not be eligible for a prize and
receives ‘comments only’. Except for announcement of the item
title, time is determined from the first note, dance step, action or
word spoken to the last note, dance step, action or word spoken.
Bows during the music are timed. If separate times are noted
for ‘A’ and ‘B’ test items, the clock will stop for each. If a ‘Total
Performance Time’ is indicated, the clock will not stop between
any selections or movements. The Eisteddfod timekeeper’s record
is final.
28. Entrants may themselves announce only the title of their
performance item/s. The Session Manager is not required to
make this announcement.
ACCOMPANIMENT
29. Accompaniment in vocal and instrumental events must be
acoustic piano except where otherwise stated, or the original
has an obbligato instrument. In ‘Test’ marked ‘unaccompanied’
only a keynote or chord can be given before the performance
commences.
30. Official accompanists, if appointed, are not obliged to play poorly
presented, difficult or illegible music at sight. Prior rehearsal is
always advisable. Private accompanists do not need to purchase
an admission ticket, provided they introduce themselves to the
Ticket Seller, and enter the auditorium with the entrant and both
register with the Session Manager.
31. Where recorded accompaniment is permitted, this must be on
CD except where submission by emailing an MP3 file (not M4a
or MP4 format) is specifically requested. After receiving revised
advice from APRA/AMCOS, Sydney Eisteddfod will once again
RETURN CDs TO ENTRANTS. These need to be collected with
the reports at the conclusion of each event. CDs will only be
kept for one week after the conclusion of an event, after
which they will be securely destroyed & recycled.
32. Please ensure the CDs are burned properly, as per the guidelines
given, and tested in a music system (not on a computer or car
music player). In case of CD failure, subject to the venue, USB
or phone can be used, as a backup. Do not use labels on CD as
this may cause CD player failure. See Sydney Eisteddfod website
in Entrant’s Corner for CD Policy: sydneyeisteddfod.com.au/
CD-Policy
33. Each CD or audio file must contain only ONE item. See
Sydney Eisteddfod website in Entrant’s Corner for CD Policy:
sydneyeisteddfod.com.au/CD-Policy
34. No entrant may rehearse in competition venues during the period
of the Eisteddfod except in official rehearsals arranged by the
Eisteddfod.
35. No teacher, parent or designated supervisor (unless an
accompanist or conductor) will be allowed on stage or in the
wings at any time, except those registered in a supervisory
capacity with groups. For further information, please refer to
Choir category rules & conditions No 21(d), Instrumental
Group category rules & conditions No 18(d), Speech &
Drama category rules & conditions No 4 and Dance category
rules & conditions No 4(b). These supervisors must be
listed with the Session Manager when registering at the event.
Supervisors must remain with their group at all times but are not
permitted on stage unless performing with their group.
36. Prompting is not permitted, except by the adjudicator only in
junior speech & drama events if deemed necessary.
37. In case of CD accompaniment failure during performance,
the entrant should stop singing or dancing, leave the stage
immediately and wait for instruction from the Session Manager.
Once the sound technician has loaded the back-up CD, the
entrant may recommence performance without penalty. In ‘live’
performances, any entrant who ‘breaks down during their
performance’ or ‘suffers memory lapse’ and leaves the stage
S Y D N E Y E I S T E D D F O D
G E N E R A L
will receive ‘comments only’, unless they remain on stage and
R U L E S
continue their performance within the time limit.
38. Standard of dress is as important as the performance. Personal
presentation appropriate to a stage appearance may be taken
into consideration. The use of explicit language and gestures is
prohibited, and entrants should avoid items of an overtly sexual or
undignified nature.
39. BAD BEHAVIOUR: A high standard of decorum is expected
from all participants and patrons. Behaviour which is contrary
A N D
to the spirit of the event, especially if directed at Eisteddfod
representatives, adjudicators or entrants, will result in the
offender/s being asked to leave. Offending entrants or entrants
associated with offenders will be disqualified and may incur future
bar.
40. Any person or group found responsible for defacing or damaging
C O N D I T I O N S
a venue or equipment will be disqualified and the Eisteddfod may
take steps to recover from them any costs of repair. Supervisors
of groups must remain with their groups at all times and will be
held accountable for the actions of their groups.
ADJUDICATION
41. The adjudicator/s’ decision, in accordance with the rules, is final.
42. If fewer than five entrants register on the day of performance, or
if a satisfactory standard is not achieved, the decision to award
prizes will be at the discretion of the adjudicator. Prizes cannot be
divided and none extra to those listed in the event program can
be awarded (e.g. tied positions are not permissible). Should the
Eisteddfod or the adjudicator decide not to award a prize, such
decision shall be final and binding.
43. Any person who is related to or been taught or coached privately
by an appointed adjudicator during the six months preceding the
opening date of the Eisteddfod, is barred from participation under
O F
that adjudicator.
44. Communication with an adjudicator is strictly prohibited. If it is
established that an entrant or person associated with an entrant
has made personal contact with the adjudicator before or during a
E N T R Y
session that entrant will receive ‘comments only’.
45. A substitute adjudicator may be used for a listed adjudicator. Any
event may be divided for program purposes and any event time or
date may be altered if necessary.
46. An adjudication report, if written, will be available free of charge
to the entrant or in the case of groups, the supervisor. Reports
may be posted if a stamped self-addressed envelope, with the
event and entrant numbers clearly identified, is supplied to the
Eisteddfod to an address matching our records. 17
47. Any protest on the basis of age or ‘vocals on CD’ will be
determined on the spot by the Session Manager by inspecting
proof of age or checking the submitted recording. Please refer to
Item 48 below.
48. Any protest of a technical nature other than in Item 47 must be
referred to the Eisteddfod for settlement and its decision accepted
without further question. Such protests must be in writing
accompanied by a deposit of $50 and lodged at the registered
office of the Eisteddfod no later than 4pm on the first working day
after the event affected. If the protest is upheld, the deposit will be
refunded. Please refer to Item 49 below.
49. A protest can only be lodged by an entrant, teacher or parent
affected in solo events or in the case of groups, by the group’s
conductor or representative as named on the entry form for the
event or by the principal of a school or academy.
50. Legal requirements prohibit private use of cameras or recording
devices at our venues and events. Laptops, iPads, tablets, pagers,
alarms, personal headsets and all other electronic devises must
be switched off in competition venues.
51. The Eisteddfod will not be liable for personal items lost or
stolen. Valuables should not be brought into competition venues
and any school bags, handbags, instruments or other items
should be under the supervision of someone nominated by the
entrant at all times. Lost property will be held by the Eisteddfod
Office or venue for up to two months only.
52. The Eisteddfod will not be liable for any copyright
infringement relating to the submission of photocopies.
Entrants should be aware of the APRA/AMCOS rules of
copyright.
53. Any rights that should be obtained in respect of recorded music
for performance are the responsibility of the performer. The
Eisteddfod holds a licence issued by APRA/AMCOS.
54. The Eisteddfod reserves the right to record, film, broadcast,
telecast, videotape or photograph any entrant, item or event in
the Eisteddfod without notification and any such photograph,
recording or broadcast may be used at the Eisteddfod’s
discretion for publicity or promotional purposes, but shall not
necessarily constitute an endorsement of any participants and no
remuneration or compensation whatsoever shall be attributable to
any participants so featured.
55. The Eisteddfod, at its sole discretion, may promote or publicise
the profile of any entrant and their participation and publish
names and suburbs in competition results, including photos via
electronic and printed media at its discretion.
56. Personal details provided by an entrant on the entry form are for
the Eisteddfod identification use only and are not released to third
parties except at the Eisteddfod’s discretion, after consultation
with the entrant, to known organisations when an opportunity may
be beneficial to an entrant.
57. Failure to comply with any of the foregoing rules and conditions
may cause withholding of prizes, disqualification, and/or a future
bar. The decision of the Eisteddfod in all questions or disputes
arising out of or not provided for by these rules and regulations
will be final. All entries are received according to this condition
and in the spirit of friendly competition upon which the Eisteddfod
is based, and no dispute shall become the subject of any appeal
at law.
58. TICKET SALES: Tickets are non-refundable. All patrons (including
children) must hold a valid ticket for the ‘Principal Dates’. At
general sessions, all children 4 years and over will be required to
have a valid ticket.
59. TRAVEL ASSISTANCE: The Sydney Eisteddfod Travel Fund
provides subsidies for travel by young people from marginal
and regional New South Wales and interstate to give them
the opportunity to perform in Sydney Eisteddfod. See Sydney
Eisteddfod website in Entrant’s corner for Travel Assistance Fund:

Important Information
I M P O R T A N T
This program includes our 2018
CALENDAR (check under ‘Contents’ on page 1),
listing events chronologically by date. Each
18
event is identified by a number by which the
events are listed in this program.
Events are scheduled into morning,
afternoon and evening sessions and
are sometimes split into several divisions.
Occasionally, an event’s divisions may run
on different days and culminate in a Final.
Admission charges apply for each session, i.e.
a morning ticket will admit you to all events
listed for the morning session at that venue.
ADMISSION
All sessions are open to the public (unless
otherwise indicated) and admission charges
apply to parents, teachers and others who
attend with entrants. For all ticket types and
prices see Admission Prices (check under
‘Contents’ on page 1).
EVENTS
Each event is hosted by a Session Manager
who announces relevant details and
usually introduces entrants by their entrant
number. Silence must be maintained so
that performers and adjudicators are not
distracted. If you must leave the auditorium
while a session is in progress please do so
between performances.
Applause should be reserved until
the person on stage completes their
performance. Performances must comply
with set time limits and so untimely applause
can extend a performance and result in an
entrant not being considered for a placing.
LAPTOP COMPUTERS, PHONES,
TABLETS, PAGERS
Please ensure that watch alarms, pagers,
laptop computers and mobile devices are
turned off inside the auditorium.
CHILDREN AND BABIES
Children should be encouraged to respect
other members of the audience and should
be restrained from chatting or fidgeting. The
Sydney Eisteddfod environment is unsuitable
for babies or toddlers.
PHOTOGRAPHY & RECORDING
EQUIPMENT
Due to copyright and privacy regulations,
the use of all such devices is forbidden
inside our auditoriums. Only authorised
Sydney Eisteddfod personnel and media
representatives are exempt from this rule.

the day of competition, for any photograph
orders, collecting reports or CD.

You (or a representative) must register
at the venue at least 15 minutes
before the start of your session or
EST (Estimated Starting Time) as
advertised and hand in any relevant
material. Registration can be only accepted
prior to the Session Manager declaring the
session open. Late registration, or those who
miss their turn, may perform at the end of
the event or division for ‘comments only’, not
for a placing and subject to time.
TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT,
PLEASE ALLOW TIME FOR
TRANSPORT DELAYS OR PARKING
Unless the event conditions specify
otherwise, required material must be
submitted to the Session Manager when
registering: this includes printed music
and backing CDs. A spare copy of each
CD should be retained by the entrant.
All materials must be clearly labelled for
identification with the Event Number and
your Entrant Number. Only original published
music (submitted at your own risk) and
CDs should be collected immediately at the
conclusion of the Event. Photocopies will not
be returned as per APRA/AMCOS Policy.
In age-specified events you must carry proof
of age, to be shown if requested. This also
applies to members of groups.
All entrants must perform when called, in
program order, except in circumstances
approved in advance by Sydney Eisteddfod.
Listen for changes announced by the Session
Manager. The order of performance is
generally assigned in random order by our
database.
Entrants are called from the auditorium to
the stage including choirs and instrumental
groups. Separate warm-up areas may not
be available except for Finals. Groups will
receive specific instructions when registering
at the venue.
The instructions of Eisteddfod official
representatives must always be followed,
otherwise disqualification may result.
Teachers and nominated helpers supervising
groups are deemed responsible for their
group and the behaviour of its members.

YOUR PERFORMANCE
All performances are acoustic (non-
amplified) except where the use of
microphones and amplification is specified.
Dress suitably for performance.
You should announce the title of your
item/s to the audience before you begin.
Some events require such announcement
as part of the presentation. Dance, drama
and ensemble items can be introduced by
the Session Manager only if titles are clearly
written or typed and submitted when
registering.
Time limits are strictly enforced and
performances that contravene the set limits
will not be eligible for consideration of a
placing. Ensure your performance is well
within the specified limit.
Timing starts with the first note, dance step,
action or word and ends with the last note,
dance step, action or word. Bows with music
are timed. If two items are specified as
‘A’ & ‘B’, each will be timed separately
excluding announcement of titles. If a
‘Total Performance Time’ is stipulated,
the clock will not stop between
selections and the whole program
must be within the limit, including
announcement of titles.
VENUES
Our 2018 venues are listed in this Program
(check under ‘Contents’ on page 1).
YOUR ACCOMPANIMENT
A Festival Season Pass is issued to Sydney
Eisteddfod’s Official Accompanists and
all those whose names appear under the
Directory of Accompanists (check under ‘Contents’
on page 1).
Only piano is to be used for accompaniment
except in dance or other events where
recorded or other instrumental backing is
expressly allowed.
If you wish to use the Official Accompanist,
where allocated to your event, they should
be contacted at least three weeks in
advance of your performance to organise
adequate rehearsal and to discuss your
music. To arrive at your event and expect
the Official Accompanist to perform without
a prior rehearsal is discourteous to both
the pianist and the competition. Services of
the Official Accompanist at the competition
are free but our recommended rehearsal
fee is $45 (including GST) per half hour. An
accompanist is not obliged to play poorly
presented, difficult or illegible music at sight.
Private accompanists do not need to
purchase an admission ticket, provided they
introduce themselves to the Ticket Seller and
enter the auditorium with the entrant and
both register with the Session Manager.
Recorded accompaniment (for dance
and amplified singing events) must be on CD
only, clearly identified for each event (with
Event and Entrant numbers written directly
on the CD and its cover). It is always wise to
carry a second copy, to be retained by the
entrant. The music is usually started once you
are in position on stage and stopped when
deemed to be the end. To avoid possible
embarrassment write ‘ON stage’ or ‘OFF
stage’ on your CD & tell the Session
Manager how your performance starts and
finishes. Only the one track to be performed
should be on the CD - we do not accept
responsibility if the wrong track is played
where a multi-track CD is submitted. Please
test your CD on standard audio equipment
(not a computer or car) prior to the day of
your event.
Please refer to sydneyeisteddfod.com.au/cd-policy
for more information.
PRIZES
Following adjudication, written reports are
available for every entrant except in those
events where it is stated no reports are
given. Appearance Advice should be at
the ready, if requested, when claiming your
adjudication report, collecting any original
materials or CDs.
All place-getters are presented with a
Commemorative Certificate and medal
(or shield for groups). Certificates are
also presented to Highly Commended
performers and Finalists. (Individual
group members can purchase awards
and certificates if ordered through the
representative who lodged the entry. All
orders must be placed via email:
info@sydneyeisteddfod.com.au no later than
ONE MONTH after completion of the
event).

I M P O R T A N T
I N F O R M A T I O N
Prize cheques are mailed progressively
within a month after the conclusion of the
event and are automatically payable to the
registered name of the entrant. If a group 19
name is listed as the entrant, the cheque
will be payable to the person named on
the form as ‘submitting the entry’ unless we
recognise the group’s name as a registered
entity or school. A fee of $30 will be charged
if a replacement cheque is required. Please
email info@sydneyeisteddfod.com.au immediately
with any change of address.
CERTIFICATES
Entrants in groups who wish to obtain an
individual certificate with their name in
brackets under the Group Name or those
who do not achieve a place but would like
a keepsake can buy a specially prepared
certificate for $5 ($10 posted). This must be
ordered from Sydney Eisteddfod via email to
info@sydneyeisteddfod.com.au
All orders must be placed no later than
ONE MONTH after completion of their
event.
STAYING IN CONTACT
For us to keep in touch with you, it is
essential that YOU keep in touch with us.
Email all changes (address or contact details)
or queries to info@sydneyeisteddfod.com.au
Please don’t submit changes over the phone,
we have thousands of entrants each year
and we are unable to handle large numbers
of phone calls. Entrants from the country
or interstate must also provide their Sydney
contact details relevant to their attendance
at Sydney Eisteddfod events.

Calendar
The “TIME” column shows the Session
Commencement and “EST” (Estimated
Starting Time) which is an indication of
when other events or divisions in the
Session might start. If the duration of an
event is expected to be short, the following
events may be allocated the same times.
An event will not start earlier than an
“EST”, but may be delayed if the previous
event runs overtime. The number of
entrants who attend on the day, item
duration and adjudication time will
influence the actual timing. The letters
A to F following an event number indicate
a division of that event. Events in the body
of the program will show the Session
Time or the “EST” if applicable.
Registration: Entrants (or a representative)
should register at the venue at least 15
minutes before the start of their session or
“EST” time as advertised. No registration
can be accepted once the Session Manager
has declared the session open. All entrants
must be ready to perform when called.
Latecomers, or those who miss their
turn, may perform at the end of the event
or division for comments only, not for
any placing and subject to time. Venue
information can be found in this program
(check under ‘Contents’ on page 1).

Thank you to Petersham RSL Club
Sydney Eisteddfod once again extends a special thank you to Petersham RSL Club for their ongoing support as a venue
partner.
2018 marks a twenty-eight year partnership between Sydney Eisteddfod and Petersham RSL Club, who together have
provided over 18, 000 aspiring vocalists with an unrivalled platform to pursue their dreams.
Since its commencement in the late 1980’s, Contemporary Singing has grown into one of the largest and most popular
categories in the Sydney Eisteddfod program. Without the continued generosity of Petersham RSL, it would not be
possible to cater for the amount of entrants and supporters that are involved each year.

PROVIDING
OPPORTUNITIES
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
The much admired former Chairman of Sydney Eisteddfod John
Lamble AO, continues to be one of the Festival’s most generous
and enthusiastic supporters. Through his sponsorship of the
John Lamble Foundation Australasian Choral Championships,
as well as numerous other events, he aspires to do everything
in his power to help young performers on their way and to
ensure they realise their full potential.
Waitara Junior Voices made history winning the John Lamble
Foundation Australasian Championship for Primary/Infant
Choirs on three occasions, yet still believes the best part is
‘making new friends, building confidence and having fun singing’,
truly embodying the essence of John’s contribution.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Sydney Eisteddfod strives to provide opportunities for
approximately 35,000 entrants annually. If you believe in the
potential of young people and would like to support these
aspiring artists, please contact info@sydneyeisteddfod.com.au
or call 02 9261 8366.
