Sydney Eisteddfod Music Competitions

Sydney Eisteddfod is one of Australia’s largest and longest-running performing arts competitions, held annually in Sydney. It offers hundreds of events across music, dance, speech, and drama, with particularly strong sections for instrumentalists, vocalists, choirs, and bands. Events range from solo and ensemble performance to large group and school-based categories. High school students can enter many music sections covering classical, contemporary, jazz, and ensemble performance. Participants receive professional adjudication, stage experience, and the chance to compete for prizes, scholarships, and performance opportunities. The Eisteddfod is open to a wide age range (from children to adults), and students may enter individually or as part of a school or community group, making it a valuable platform for developing performance skills, confidence, and artistic networks.
