AMessagefromtheChairman

Welcome to the 2020 Ryde Eisteddfod.

With the wonderful support of Ryde Council we are able to provide a great environment for this significant cultural event which attracts competitors from the local Ryde area, from the whole metropolitan region and even interstate entrants. Some overseas performers who are visiting Sydney in the months of July-September are also in contact to see if they can match their schedules with the current Eisteddfod.

Each year we extend an appeal for more volunteers to assist in the running of the Eisteddfod, with help needed both in the organizing committee roles and in the sessional volunteers who provide performers with a great experience while they are performing at our venues. Rewards for the volunteers are considerable as they can enjoy outstanding performances in disciplines of their particular interest - speech & drama, dance, classical and pop vocal, instrumental solos and ensembles and a very special event with all disciplines - the 50+ sections on Seniors Day.

Welcome to anyone who has not previously participated in Ryde Eisteddfod and a special welcome back to those who have enjoyed being part of the eisteddfod in the past. We wish you another fruitful and enjoyable year of performance.

A special thanks to our valued sponsors who contribute the highly valued trophies and cash prizes - their support is greatly appreciated.

My best wishes to all contestants and I hope your participation in Ryde Eisteddfod 2020 will be a memorable and rewarding experience.

InstrumentalSchoolEnsembles-ALLTrophyPrizesNote: Teachers should consider including a Timing Request if they have a preference for their groups to perform

A -Voice is a legitimate instrument in ensembles except for section 211, but voice only ensembles should enter choral sections.

B - A Primary age group may opt to provide information as to the experience level of the children, giving the timetabling coordinator the option of setting up streamed subsections.

C - Timing will commence at the start of the first piece and finish at the end of the final piece, so changeover time should be kept short.

RulesandConditionsofEntryEligibilitytoenter/perform1. All sections are open to all amateur competitors. An amateur is defined as “not professional”– i.e. not deriving a significant proportion of his/her total annual income from teaching or performing in that field, or having been so employed in the previous ten years. It is possible that a person deemed to be professional in one section of the Eisteddfod may be considered an amateur in another section, e.g. a flute teacher could not perform in the instrumental sections but could potentially perform in the Speech section if not also a professional in that field. Because of the importance of Eisteddfod competitions in the artistic development of young performers, students under the age of 17, registered in fulltime academic studies, are deemed to be amateurs. 2. Only the person named on the Official Entry Form may perform in the event listed in the programme. Substitutions “for performance only” may be requested where one member of a duo or small group is unable to perform due to illness or a reason considered legitimate by the Section Coordinator, and if agreed to by the adjudicator. 3. Any competitor who has been taught, coached or advised by an adjudicator in the six months prior to the opening date of the current Eisteddfod shall be ineligible to compete in the section(s) judged by that adjudicator. In the rare case that a scheduled adjudicator is unable to take part (e.g. because of illness) the Eisteddfod should be notified of potential problems with this rule, so that they may attempt to resolve the situation for a particular competitor. 4. No competitors may enter the same section more than once in the same role. Bona fide members of two different choirs or orchestras may perform in those competing groups. No more than 20% of any two groups may be the same people. In the case of Small Ensembles (3-4 performers) no more than 1 person may be common to 2 groups. In Small Ensembles (5-8 performers) the maximum number of overlap is 2 performers.

Instrumental Solo Specific Special rules apply to Instrumental Section Solos. For example, one competitor playing oboe may also enter the same section playing saxophone: this would be classed as 2 separate entries. A maximum of 2 entries can be made in this way and normally the adjudicator would only consider the better of the two performances for inclusion in the prizewinning list for the section.

Dance Groups Specific Dance groups: a competitor may appear in two different groups in the same section, but the composition of the group must be different: for example, a trio may not call itself by a different name and perform twice in one section. In any one event, no School or Dance Academy may enter more than two groups per age or class. In the case where a school enters 2 groups in the 1 section only 50% of the dancers can perform in the 2nd group. Winners of a dance scholarship may not enter this Section for 2 years. Choice of Item and Provision of Music 5. No competitor may perform the same item in more than one section except where indicated. 6. Competitors in Speech, Instrumental and Vocal (except amplified vocals ) sections with “own choice” material must provide a complete and legible (unmarked) copy of the material for the adjudicator, either handing it to the Registration Desk immediately before the commencement of their section , OR uploading a scanned copy during Preregistration Material submitted in this way will be returned to competitors at the end of the section if it is an original or an authorised photocopy. APRA requires the Eisteddfod to destroy all unauthorised copies (paper or digital) at the conclusion of the events. Note: Bands & Ensembles must provide the complete score. Piano reductions are not acceptable. 7. All competitors using the Official Accompanist must send a second, performance-quality copy of their music to the accompanist. If this is an unauthorised photocopy, it must, by law, be forwarded to AMCOS, and cannot be retained. Authorised photocopies and original published copies will be returned to the competitors at the conclusion of the section.

Age / Eligibility Sections 8. Age is determined as at June 30th of the current year. Proof of age may be requested. 9. OPEN sections are for any age but are still restricted to amateurs.

Dance Specific All Full Time Dance Students who do not attend a Dept of Education/Private School MUST enter the Open age Sections (applies also to groups).

First time dance entrants in Ryde Eisteddfod, please bring a copy of birth certificate. All Dance Groups entered MUST only have competitors who conform to the age of the Group NOTE: We do not accept an 'average age' of the Group as other Eisteddfods may do. 10. Specifications of age restrictions vary across the Eisteddfod categories. It is the responsibility of the person lodging the entry form to ensure that the competitor is in the correct age group and satisfies the restrictions applying to a particular event

Vocal Specific - Scholarship Minimum Age While these events (110 A,B,C) have a minimum age requirement it is possible for a younger age competitor to apply to the Vocal Coordinator to take part. Evidence needs to be supplied that the entrant has sufficient musical maturity and that performance in these events would be of special benefit in the entrant's vocal career.

Instrumental Specific Limited sections (strings only) are open to solo competitors who have not won a first prize as soloist playing the same instrument in any Eisteddfod by the time of the closing date for entries in the current year.

Speech Specific RESTRICTED sections (set piece verse sections only ) are open to solo competitors who have not won a first prize as soloist in any Eisteddfod by the time of the closing date for entries in the current year. NOVICE sections are open to solo competitors who have not previously entered ANY speech event in any Eisteddfod by the time of the closing date for entries in the current year. They are eligible to enter other events. ‘School Age’ Classification In all sections with age restrictions specified as “Secondary School Age ” no competitor may be of an age greater than that generally considered normal for secondary schooling. A small proportion of the players may be of younger age than specified. A similar ruling applies to the age restriction “Primary School Age”. Restrictions of Availability 11. When lodging an entry, please indicate if a certain time or date is unsuitable for the contestant. Include this information under "Timing Request"(ONLINE) or clearly written on a paper entry. The programmers will make every effort to accommodate the request if at all possible, provided that the request is considered reasonable (i.e. an alternative time requested from the listed Likely Dates published for that year by the Eisteddfod.) Special efforts will be made for entrants in multiple sections if a clash occurs within the Ryde Eisteddfod programming. Refunds are possible in some cases where reasonable timing requests have not been met - but the entrant should contact the eisteddfod within two weeks of the first online publication of the timetable of events. 12. After the programme is printed, there can be no requests for change. Only in exceptional circumstances will this be considered and the request must be in writing (email or paper) Performance 13. All competitors must perform in their allotted programme order or they forfeit their right to compete, except where prior arrangements have been made with the Section Coordinator of the Ryde Eisteddfod. Latecomers may be permitted to perform. 14. The adjudicator’s decision is always final. 15. No communication is to be made with the adjudicator at any time prior to or during the section. Disqualification may result from an infringement of this rule. 16. Time limits must be observed. Time is calculated from the opening word of a speech item, or the first note of music. Penalties will be applied to those exceeding the time limit. How this is dealt with by adjudicators will vary, but anyone not abiding by the set time limits risks complete disqualification.

Instrumental Specific Instrumentalists wishing to perform legitimately longer works should read the rules governing the purchase of an ETC (Extra Time Coupon), which is available in SOME events in the Eisteddfod Instrumental sections 17. No competitor is allowed to rehearse in the Ryde Eisteddfod’s venues. 18. No teacher or parent will be allowed on stage during a performance except in the capacity of conductor or accompanist. A teacher or parent may assist very young children or disabled competitors in getting themselves ready for a performance and assist at the conclusion of a performance. 19. The use of cameras, video and recording devices is prohibited during any performance at the Ryde Eisteddfod. Breaches of this rule may attract legal penalties for copyright infringement, and result in disqualification. Persons seeking permission to record performances, please see "Photographs & Videos" Information. Photographs of prize presentations may be permitted at end of sections.

Dance Specific An official (commercial video-taping service) is provided in Dance sections for the performer only, if requested 20. No prompting, coaching or assistance of any kind shall be given during a performance except that offered by the adjudicator. Breach of this rule will result in disqualification. 21. Entrants at eisteddfod functions take part at their own risk. The eisteddfod does not accept responsibility for any accident or personal loss or injury, however caused. Entries 22. All entries must be made Online OR on the official entry form ( available online or in the printed syllabus) . They must be accompanied by full and correct entry fees (teachers with multiple entries may attach a separate sheet). For teachers making a large number of entries there will be the option of making a "Volume Users Entry" in spreadsheet format, available online from the front menu. 23. Every entrant will receive an email copy of the official entry form being submitted to the Eisteddfod and should keep this copy for their records. This contains a unique order/invoice number which will be referred to for identification. This order number gives entrants access to the timetabling information online 2-3 weeks after the closing date of entries.

24. All entrants making paper entries MUST have registered hence have an Eisteddfod Username and Password which is included on the Entry Form - or provide a clearly completed MANUAL REGISTRATION form so that they may be registered for the year. 25. All paper entrants without an email address will be given a temporary Eisteddfod email account and will pay a small surcharge on entry to cover the postage and handling of the invoice information being sent to them. 26. ALL ENTRIES ARE RECEIVED ACCORDING TO THE CONDITIONS AND RULES OF THE RYDE EISTEDDFOD COMMITTEE AS STATED ABOVE AND ARE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ENTRANT’S CONSENT AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE RULES.

Informationforcontestants1. A minimum of five (5) entries (or in the case of group performances, three (3) competitor groups) is normally

required for a section to take place. If the Section Manager decides to hold an event in which fewer than three competitors are officially entered, then that section will normally be held FOR ADJUDICATION ONLY. Where exceptional standard of performance results, awarding of a prize may be recommended by the adjudicator. Entrants in unviable Instrumental sections will be given the choice of transferring to another section or having their entry fee refunded. If an entrant is likely to be unable to perform at a particular time they should make use of the Timing Request facility of Online Booking. It may not be possible for timetabling to meet theirrequirementsbutknowledgeofthe requirement should reduce the likelihood of the entrant being unable to attend.

2. The task of choosing the right material for each section rests solely with the competitor. All competitors are reminded that suitability and the degree of difficulty of the item will be taken into consideration by the adjudicator. Please do not choose vocal music with offensive lyrics either for performance or for backing CDs for dance.

3. The Ryde Eisteddfod Committee reserves the right to appoint a substitute adjudicator for an announced adjudicator. 4. An official accompanist will be provided in those sections so indicated. If his/her services are required, please

contact him/her at least a week prior to the event, otherwise he/she may refuse to sight-read the accompaniment. Competitors may choose to have their own accompanists.

5. The Ryde Eisteddfod Committee and/or adjudicator reserve the right to reduce or withdraw a published cash prize or trophy

6. if a satisfactory standard of performance has not been reached or 7. if a section has attracted an insufficient number of entries, or 8. if nonattendance has made the section unviable on the day of the competition. 9. The Ryde Eisteddfod Committee reserves the right to amend the Official Programme. This includes dividing or

merging any section for easier programming purposes, altering the time of performance for individual competitors if requested for legitimate reasons, and cancelling sections where an insufficient number of competitors has registered

10. Competitors are advised to consider their appearance, which is part of the overall presentation and performance before a paying audience. School uniform or similar smart and neat attire is suitable.

11. Adjudicators’ reports will be made available to each competitor, free of charge, at the end of each section. 12. Courtesy is expected of the audience during any Eisteddfod performance. Audience members may be asked to leave

the auditorium if they disturb a performance. 13. The Eisteddfod is a non-profit organisation, and the committee and other workers are all volunteers.

Please show them consideration for their time and effort. Requests, complaints, and helpful suggestions are always welcome, though preferably in writing, so they can be dealt with in full committee meetings.

In any one year's competitions one competitor may purchase no more than ONE of these coupons -

In the ETC entry box under the competitor name you are asked to identify the 1 or 2 events to which the ETC is to be applied.

for other events (such as the HSC or an AMEB examination) to include performances of these works in their Eisteddfod presentations, without the need to make musically undesirable cuts to these works.
