Arguably Europe's largest youth festival,[1] it is usually held during the last week of May, coinciding with schools' half term holiday. Locations alternate between north and south Wales.[1] The Eisteddfod consists of competitive singing, recitation, art, composition, dance and instrumental events for contestants aged between 7 and 24 years. Regional qualifying heats are held in advance around Wales, as occurs for the National Eisteddfod. Urdd's motto is 'Er Mwyn Cymru' (English: For the sake of Wales). HistoryThe first Urdd National Eisteddfod was held in 1929 at Corwen.[1] Originally held over two days, the festival has grown in recent times into a week-long celebration of competition and socialising.[1] The initial festivals, which focused more on the celebration of young people enjoying the Welsh language, saw a few thousand visitors, but in 1935 the Eisteddfod at Carmarthen was heavily reported by the press resulting in 12,000 people attending and increasing the visibility of the event.[2] The only years that the Urdd Eisteddfod has not taken place since its inauguration were during the Second World War. The 1940 Eisteddfod, held in Rhyl, still went ahead, but coming in the same week as the Dunkirk evacuation, it was a reduced festival, covering all the events in a single day. The Eisteddfod returned after the cessation of hostilities by returning to its roots at Corwen in 1946.[3] During the 1950s the Eisteddfod began evolving away from the celebration and marching aspect towards more competitive events, mirroring the National Eisteddfod. An art exhibition was introduced in 1955 and a classical concert was included in 1958. One of the more notable events to occur at the Urdd Eisteddfod took place in 1969 at the Aberystwyth event. Prince Charles was invited to attend and he was given a public platform to speak to the crowd. This was the year of his investiture as the Prince of Wales, a role that divided many Welsh people, and around a hundred people stood up and left as the Prince arrived on the stage. The fallout afterwards was also heated, with an editorial in the Welsh-language paper Y Cymro angering the then director of the Urdd.[4] Y MaesThe Eisteddfod is usually held in a large open field (maes). Accompanying peripheral attractions are designed to help fund the festival and include exhibition stalls, displays and sporting activities. Local and national corporations, retailers and other institutions are invited to participate, notably the Welsh universities. CompetitionsAccording to the Urdd's own reporting, they estimate that roughly 40,000 children and young adults apply through regional rounds for places in the Eisteddfod competitions.[5] Of these roughly 15,000 qualify through to take part at the National event.[5] Preliminary rounds for the performing arts are then conducted on the day to establish a final three competitors who perform in front of the pavilion audience. A single judge then ranks the final three competitors to give the winning order. In its earlier competitive years, children competed as part of their county, and a large scoreboard would tally the points to find an overall winner.[3] Today the competitors compete for themselves, though their school or college plays a large part. The younger children will compete under their school's name and normally wear their school uniform while performing. Competitors for the Urdd National Esiteddfod can be split into two main groups. The performing arts; which take place in the Pavilion, and the plastic and compositional arts which are judged prior to the Eisteddfod but are revealed as part of the festival. Pavilion competitionsThe performing arts which are traditionally performed in the pavilion include:
Other awardsThe plastic arts, compositional and literature awards are announced on the pavilion stage at various points throughout the festival. Many of the categories are competed in age ranges; though there are several Medal awards and scholarships which are normally entered by older children and young adults. Drawing and plastic arts
