Eisteddfod : At each Cwrs Cymraeg, Cymdeithas Madog holds a Welsh-language literary composition competition among the students. If you're unfamiliar with eisteddfodau, click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisteddfod. Just as the National Eisteddfod of Wales awards a chair to the winning bard each year, so does Cymdeithas Madog (though our chair is smaller). Prizes are also awarded for beginner and intermediate entries. The competition is open for anyone attending the course and will be adjudicated by our Cwrs tutors. Information for the Cwrs Eisteddfod topic will be released shortly.
