Polls for “People’s Choice” were closed yesterday and “Celebrity judges” have been making their choices.
A big thank you to all those who took part, and to all those who supported participants by voting in the polls or expressing their appreciation here in the Forum.
Are you curious to discover 2021 winners?
This year they will not be revealed all at the same time, so you’ll need to be a little more patient!
We carry on this morning with results from the other category judged by Tecwyn and Rhiannon Ifan : Recitation.
However, it was decided to add a judges choice or special mention also for the categories originally planned as “People’s choice only”.
So a quick step back to Cân Gyfoes / Contemporary Song to announce Original composition special prize to…
“Y Dre Ger Y Lli” by Blaidd ap Gododdin (Bren Riley)!
And now, Tecwyn and Rhiannon Ifan’s choice for Adrodd / Recitation category.
Cydradd gyntaf (wel, I don’t know how to say this in English! Tied? so here goes Welsh)
Bachgen y Cymoedd (Alun Morgan - @alunmorgan)
Llanw a Thrai (Jenny Roberts)
Diolch yn fawr/ thank you very much!! And llongyfarchiadau/ congratulations Vicki!!
I’m just trying to come to terms with the idea of Bethan Gwanas (!!) listening to us being bonkers!! Wow!! Thank you Bethan!!!
@Cetra, I know that feeling, too! In my case I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Tecwyn and Rhiannon Ifan listened to my recording and actually liked it! Diolch!
The effort was apparently all too much for the 40-year-old drum machine that you hear briefly at the beginning of my track, which has now taken to having a bit of a meltdown. It needs a “holiday” (i.e. a trip to the repairer!) I think…
Ffotograffiaeth / Photography with 15 entries and 94 voters in the poll was one of the most successful categories. A strong fight until last minute for #1 position in the polls! People’s Choice final winner is…
“Y llongddrylliad yn Cynffig” by Nidstar (Nic Humphries)
And judge Nick Treharne’s choice is…
“Priodas Mynyddoedd Cuillin, Ynys Skye” by Natur (Suzanne Arnold)
Celf Weledol / Visual Arts has been very successful category, with a lot of entries and a lot of votes in the polls.
And now the winners!
Judge’s Gwenllian Beynon choice:
1af “Dilyw” by Gobaith (Marilyn Hames - @MarilynHames )
2il “Murmur y Môr” by Talybont (Philip Huckin)
