Those requiring a report to be mailed must furnish a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the convenor OR coordinator on duty together with information on which date the section/session was held. This must be done within one week of the last date of the Eisteddfod performances.
- Adjudicator's decision is final. No discussion will be entered into, with the exception of an official protest as outlined in rule 3.
- Protest accompanied by a deposit of $10.00 must be lodged within 30 minutes of Adjudicator's decision; deposit forfeited if protest not upheld.
- The committee reserves the right to amend, combine or cancel sections. IF LESS THAN 4 ENTRIES received in any section, (see Rule 18 re Scholarship section) the section MAY BE CANCELLED and entry fees returned or SECTIONS COMBINED. This does NOT APPLY to the ‘SPECIAL NEEDS” SECTION (Section 350)
- Competitors who have been coached, taught or advised by the Adjudicator during the 12 months preceding 1 April in that year are ineligible to compete. Competitors who are related to the adjudicator are also ineligible to compete. Committee Members, members of this Society or Employees of this Eisteddfod are ineligible to compete.
- This Eisteddfod is not open to professionals. A professional is defined as a person who earns the major part of his/her income from the practice of the art or who uses that art as a primary means of livelihood.
- AGE FOR ENTRIES WILL BE TAKEN AS AT 1 st APRIL OF EACH YEAR.
SCHOOL GRADE for improvisation group sections will be taken as at 1st April of each year. PLEASE NOTE: Competitors in individual (solo) sections must compete in sections for which they are eligible by age. Example 1: if 10 years old as at 1 April, a competitor is eligible for and can only compete in sections with age groups of 9-10 yrs and 10–11 yrs and the 9 -10yrs Championship; This means that no competitor can compete in older or younger individual sections than their age range. Re: Duo in Costume, group mime. Section age ranges span 2 years Example: 13-14 years. Competitors must be of the specific ages, as at 1 April, for the section entered. Re: Dramatic Scene 3-6 players, Readers Theatre, Unison reading. Age range spans 3 years. E.g. 8-10 yrs. Competitors must be of the specific ages, as at 1 April, for the section entered. Example: Dramatic scene: 8-10 yrs. Competitors must be age 8 yrs or 9 yrs or 10 yrs as at 1 April. Re: Impromptu phone conversation, Poem for 3-6 speakers, Poem for Two, Age range described as “age and under” (e.g. 12/U), the section entered must reflect the age of the eldest competitor. Example an entry with a 12 yr old, a 10 yr old and a 9 yr old competitor must enter the 12/U section. Re: Improvisation for 2-6 players. Age range is determined by school grades 5-6; 7-8; 9-10; 11-12. School Grade will be as at 1st April of each year. All competitors in a group must be in either of the two grades stipulated for the school grade range for the section entered.

- Prompting or assistance of any kind can ONLY BE GIVEN BY THE ADJUDICATOR.

Please do this straight after the qualifying sections to avoid panic when arriving at the Championships or Scholarship.. You may bring your reports with you to the Scholarship or Championship but verifying the sections causes delays to the running of the Championships and Scholarship. Important: A qualifying poem cannot be repeated in the Scholarship. (Rule 10(a)) IMPORTANT NOTES NO RESPONSIBILITY WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR ACCIDENTS, INJURY TO OR LOST PROPERTY OF ANY PERSON/S AT THIS EISTEDDFOD. ALL COMPETITORS PERFORM AT THEIR OWN RISK.
