RULES AND CONDITIONS OF ENTRY

All entrants enter and participate according to these regulations and any other conditions

as may apply to individual events and current copyright laws.

The term ‘Council’ appearing in these rules and conditions refers to the organising Council

of the Central Coast Eisteddfod Society

The term ‘competitor’ refers to the person performing. If the person performing is under

18 years of age, the parent or guardian assumes the responsibility for compliance with

these rules and conditions of entry, and MUST sign on their behalf. Council’s rules and

decisions are final and binding.

1. Unless otherwise indicated, these competitions are open to amateurs only; an amateur

being one whose regular income is not derived from the exercise of his or her talents in

the particular class for which he or she may wish to enter. Bearing in mind that the

aim of the Eisteddfod is to foster talent, the council reserves the right to vary any of the rules

where such variation is warranted in terms of that aim.

2. COPYRIGHT –This is a legal system designed to create a balance between protecting

the rights off the copyright owners and the creators of original work and allowing

public access to these works, usually for the payment of a licence fee. A copy of the

full copyright laws can be sighted at the Eisteddfod. The Council will not be liable for

any copyright infringement relating to the submission of photocopies or use of music.

Entrants should be aware of and abide by the rules of copyright. All competitors may be

required to sign copyright declaration when registering. Photocopies of items will

therefore be shredded. Competitors are advised to check also any specific instructions at

the beginning of their program.

3. No competitor who has been taught, coached or advised by an adjudicator of any section

of the present Eisteddfod in the six months proceeding April 1st, 2010 shall be eligible to

compete in this section.

4. The Council reserves the rights to amend, refuse entry, consolidate and or cancel any

section in which there are insufficient entries. The Council invests the adjudicators with

the power to withhold any prize if they consider that insufficient merit has been

displayed, or for any other reason. (Approval is at the discretion of the council)

5. Every competitor must be listed on the official entry form with the exception of

individual members of school choirs. Schools are asked to email their choir numbers

limits are specified, competitors must be prepared, if required, to produce proof of age.

The Council may withhold any prizes until this is furnished.

8.Specially Restricted Sections are open to competitors who have never won a first prize

in the discipline being entered, i.e. a first prize winner in a Ballet section is free to

9. Restricted Sections are open to competitors who have NOT won a first prize in that

unavailable in a competitor’s age group, they may compete in the closest age division

available.

13. Repeats - No competitor is permitted to perform the same item in more than one section.

GUIDELINES FOR MUSIC CHOICE

A test such as ‘Any work by an 18th

Century Composer’, means the majority of that

composer’s works were written in the 18th

Century, i.e.: although J S Bach was born in

1685 (17th

Century) most of his works were composed in the 18th

Century.

Examples of composers that may be included in the 18th, 19th and 20-21st centuries are

given below. However, other composers fulfilling the criteria above may be used. The year

in which a work is composed may also be used as a guide.
