Yes, here they are - the people chosen by you as the winners in each of our Online Eisteddfod categories. Huge congratulations to all who took part, and diolch yn fawr to those who supported the participants by voting. Without all of you there wouldn’t be an Online Eisteddfod. So without further ado:
Welsh Prose - Beginner - Stephen Branley (Fat Harry)
the fact that no one else entered the same category as me
It does make a difference doesn’t it. Same thing happened to me in my first learners Eisteddfod here in Carmarthenshire. No one else was prepared to go up on stage and “Dweud eu Dweud”
Well it made winning considerably easier, but it didn’t dampen my enthusiasm! I really enjoyed it; I like to have something to aim for, some work to do, so I’ll certainly be taking part again next year!
@Deborah-SSi I’ve just got one idea: Can I put the links to rewarded entries in your post? This would make people go to the particular entry and listen/vatch/read it one more time maybe. If you agree I’d do that for you (if you want of course)
@tatjana I was extremely disappointed that I could not participate this year. I had a very stressful situation to deal with during that time period, and I had no time or energy left over to write anything for the Eisteddfod. It’s just too bad both things happened at the same time!
Sorry to hear that Anna. Like Tatjana I was a little surprised not to see an entry from you this year, as you did so well in previous years. Fingers crossed all will be well for you in next year’s Eisteddfod. We were late running this one due to various things, but hopefully we’ll be back on time again next year.
@Deborah-SSi Thanks so much for your kind words. I’ve participated in every Eisteddfod Ar-Lein since I started learning in May 2015. So it was hard to accept that this year I just couldn’t do it. I’m already looking forward to next year!
I’m also sorry to hear you had troubled time. Hopefully it will alll be better and you’ll be able to participate next year.
You are a star, @AnnaC, really. I’m learning for about 5 years, but apart for that rather poor photo entry last year, I didn’t gather that confidence to participate.
