54th Gladstone Eisteddfod Returns with New Energy and Opportunities

The Gladstone Eisteddfod returns for its 54th year with a fresh perspective and a new volunteer committee dedicated to making the 2024 event the most remarkable yet. Leanne Christensen, Secretary of the Gladstone Eisteddfod Association, emphasised the event’s significance within the Gladstone Region’s cultural scene. “The Eisteddfod provides a platform for our region’s artists to showcase their talents at the Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre,” she stated. “It is also an opportunity for them to grow as performers with constructive feedback provided by professional adjudicators to educate and inspire our creatives to keep challenging themselves.”

A not-for-profit established in 1970, Ms Christensen said the eisteddfod would not be possible without the support of generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers. “We really must thank our sponsors, whose financial support covers everything from venue hire and adjudicator fees to prize money and trophies,” she said.
