EISTEDDFOD COMPETITIONS - YSGOL SGETI
Eisteddfod competitions Ysgol Sgeti 2026
Theme – Breuddwydion (Dreams)
Once again this year, our Ysgol Sgeti competitions will fall in line with the Urdd Eisteddfod which is being held at Ynys Môn. By doing this, we will be able to enter many of the Urdd Eisteddfod competitions with the same work the children produce for their school entry.
The table below shows the year group, category and the strict rules and guidelines that must be followed. A selection (first, second and third) of school entries will be put forward to the Urdd Eistedddfod competitions. Pupils may also enter the additional competitions at the bottom of the table, but they should complete their Year group challenge first.
This year’s Eisteddfod theme is “Dreams / Breuddwydion.” We are inviting all pupils to think about what dreams mean to them. It could be a dream they have while they sleep, a dream for their future, a dream for their family or school, or even a dream for a kinder, more peaceful world. Pupils of all ages can explore this theme. We encourage families to talk with their children about the dreams that matter most to them, helping to inspire their creative work for the Eisteddfod.
Any words and writing included on a piece of work MUST be in Welsh or they are unable to be entered at the Urdd level.
All pieces of work should be clearly labelled on the back with the child’s name, age, Year group and date of birth.
