IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL ENTRANTS READ THE RULES AND CONDITIONS FOR EACH SECTION AND THE GENERAL RULES.
For example: General Rule no. 10 states that no competitor shall perform the same item in more than one section unless this is specifically noted in the syllabus as being allowed for that section.
General Rule no. 12 states that a competitor winning a first prize in the Adelaide Eisteddfod in the previous two years may not present the same winning item/s of music in this year's eisteddfod.
The closing date for all entries is Friday 5 pm April 13th 2018, the last day of the first School Term.   Late entries/late payments will not be accepted.

Entries and Fees
All entries are to be made on-line via www.stardom.com.au.
Each competitor pays a fee per section entered, as printed on the computer-generated invoice, plus a single administration fee appearing on the invoice after all required sections have been entered.

*Where age limits apply the age of a competitor as at 30th June 2018 will be used to determine entry, unless otherwise stated.

*A timekeeper will be appointed and when the time limits stipulated are not adhered to then no mark, placing or prize is awarded to that competitor.    However the written adjudicator's report will be provided.

*The Eisteddfod Council reserves the right to cancel any sections which in its opinion have attracted insufficient entries and refund entry fees, or to divide or combine any section/s in consultation with entrants.

Grade Sections

Works from any recognised music examination, such as AMEB, for the grade level being studied must be played.   Competitors who have entered a Grade Section where they are obviously more advanced than the level entered can be disqualified by the adjudicator if he/she feels that there is a discrepancy, or after receipt of a protest which has been accepted by Council.
