Huge congratulations!
Besides forumists’s favourites, like in previous editions, for the first time we had Celebrity Judges - who were impressed by the excellent standard and had a hard time making their choices.
Diolch yn fawr to all who took part, to the Celebrity Judges and to all forumists who supported the participants by voting in the polls and in the comments.
Llongyfarchiadau eto, and we’ll be in touch shortly with your winners’ certificates and judges’ comments.

Brilliant results and a fabulous lot of entries! Great to see so much variety in all the categories!
Really good to see @dafyddyfelin getting in amongst the winners this year too, after so many years of working behind the scenes as our Submissions Officer. Da iawn Dafydd!
Llonggyfarchiadau i pawb. I enjoyed taking part and learned a lot reading everyone’s posts. I very positive experience. 
Big congratulations to all the winners!
Thanks to all who organised the events.I enjoyed learning a new song and have increased my vocabulary and listening skills by listening to story telling,prose etc.Diolch pawb
I can’t believe Bethan Gwanas has read and liked something I wrote yn y Gymraeg! Feeling a little wobbly all of a sudden.
Thank you so much to everyone (especially Gisella) and congratulations to all the winners.
Wow, congratulations everyone - what a great competition it’s been this year 
and thanks so much to the organisers and judges for your hard work as well. 
Diolch to all the organisers and llongyfarchiadau to everyone who took part. As others have said, I learnt a lot more vocabulary by taking part in the Eisteddfod and have understood more listening to Radio Cymru since. It has been great reading and listening to all the entries.
Diolch yn fawr pawb.
Looking forward to next year’s eisteddfod.
I’d just like to add my thanks to @nia.llywelyn and @gisella-albertini for all the hard work they put into this year’s Eisteddfod and the innovations they have brought to it. A fantastic result and a great Eisteddfod. 
Thanks to @gisella-albertini for her friendly emails:) behind the scenes people are the unsung heroes of evemts. 
to everyone.
Congratulations to all the winners. Great entries. I enjoyed taking part and learnt a lot.
Thank you ssiw for providing the platform. Great job done by Gisella and all the staff.
Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb am y Online Eisteddfod. Mi wnes i fwynhau cystadlu achos roedd hi’n her i mi. Ond faswn i’n licio dweud mod i’n mwynhau darllen a gwrandro ar bobeth ar lein hefyd.
I’ve just got my judge’s comments. I’m all of a fluster. A real judgement from a proper bard and all! Thank you so, so much! What an amazing end to the year.
