Calling All Singers, Poets, Story Tellers and Comedians in the LA Area!!
Are You a Singer, Raconteur, Poet or Wit Living in the L.A. Area? If so Uncle Dai Wants You
The West Coast Eisteddfod: Welsh Festival of Arts is looking for singers, story tellers, poets and comedians to compete in the third annual West Coast Eisteddfod to be held at the Barnsdall Art Park in LA on 23rd-25th September.
- No registration fee!
- First prize of $100 in each category ( 2nd prize $50 )!
- Guaranteed 15 minutes ( or more ) of fame!
If you are interested in competing please email americymru@gmail.com . All performers will be allotted a maximum of 8 minutes at the microphone and we are hoping for a capacity audience of 300 for the event. Celebrity judges in each category will be announced as soon as they are finalized. The event will be filmed for posterity ( and possibly streamed 'live' on the internet ) and we also hope to make DVD's of the competition available for purchase.
Your contribution need not reference Wales in any way shape or form. The Eisteddfod is a Welsh tradition but it exists principally to reward artistic excellence. Above all we want you to 'give your all' and entertain and impress the crowd.
