Congratulations to Ceredigion youth in Anglesey
The recent Urdd Eisteddfod week was a particularly successful one for the children and young people of Ceredigion as the county claimed the award for the highest marks across all the Eisteddfod competitions once again this year.
After months of preparation, winning the top prize for the highest marks was a fitting culmination of all the hard work, with Ceredigion achieving 133 marks.
Whilst the sun shone on the Eisteddfod in Anglesey, individuals, schools and Aelwydydd from across Ceredigion competed enthusiastically in a wide range of competitions including music, recitation, drama, dancing, poetry and literature as well as science, technology, art and vocational skills competitions.
Particular congratulations also to Glain Llwyd from Tal-y-bont who secured one of the main awards of the week, the Drama Medal.
Councillor Catrin M S Davies is the Cabinet member responsible for Culture. She said: "To see our children and young people come out on top is fantastic but perhaps what matters most is the opportunities the Urdd has given our youth to enjoy cultural and creative experiences not only at the Urdd National Eisteddfod but also throughout the year. Congratulations to our competitors, teachers, coaches, parents and guardians, and also thanks to the Urdd Officers for every inspiration."
The Urdd Eisteddfod will be held in Gwent in 2027, Eryri in 2028, and then Ceredigion will welcome the Eisteddfod in 2029 during the centenary year of the Urdd National Eisteddfod.
