The Society aims to provide an environment for competitors where, in partnership with constructive adjudicators, training, experience
and enjoyment can be gained in an atmosphere of positive encouragement
This event would not be possible without the ongoing support of our generous Sponsors, Donors and Volunteers.
In 2014, the City of Dubbo Eisteddfod also established the Dubbo Eisteddfod Support Team (DEST) a group of dedicated individuals
who gather for regular meetings to discuss and assist with the general running of the Eisteddfod.
We are always looking for volunteers to help us stage this competition during June, so if you have some time to spare and are
considering a volunteer role, you enjoy working with people in a fun and creative atmosphere, where you can be a part of the action,
watching and supporting some of Australias best up and coming performing artists, then please contact us and we will provide you with
all the basics of how you can become a volunteer.
City of Dubbo Eisteddfod Society Inc. is a not for profit organisation and we gratefully acknowledge all our sponsors who supported us
