Besides forumists’s favourites, like in previous editions, for the first time we had Celebrity Judges - who were impressed by the excellent standard and had a hard time making their choices.
Diolch yn fawr to all who took part, to the Celebrity Judges and to all forumists who supported the participants by voting in the polls and in the comments.
Llongyfarchiadau eto, and we’ll be in touch shortly with your winners’ certificates and judges’ comments.

Brilliant results and a fabulous lot of entries! Great to see so much variety in all the categories!
Really good to see @dafyddyfelin getting in amongst the winners this year too, after so many years of working behind the scenes as our Submissions Officer. Da iawn Dafydd!
Thanks to all who organised the events.I enjoyed learning a new song and have increased my vocabulary and listening skills by listening to story telling,prose etc.Diolch pawb
Diolch to all the organisers and llongyfarchiadau to everyone who took part. As others have said, I learnt a lot more vocabulary by taking part in the Eisteddfod and have understood more listening to Radio Cymru since. It has been great reading and listening to all the entries.
I’d just like to add my thanks to @nia.llywelyn and @gisella-albertini for all the hard work they put into this year’s Eisteddfod and the innovations they have brought to it. A fantastic result and a great Eisteddfod.
Congratulations to all the winners. Great entries. I enjoyed taking part and learnt a lot.
Thank you ssiw for providing the platform. Great job done by Gisella and all the staff.
Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb am y Online Eisteddfod. Mi wnes i fwynhau cystadlu achos roedd hi’n her i mi. Ond faswn i’n licio dweud mod i’n mwynhau darllen a gwrandro ar bobeth ar lein hefyd.
I’ve just got my judge’s comments. I’m all of a fluster. A real judgement from a proper bard and all! Thank you so, so much! What an amazing end to the year.
