Adjudicator Lynette Blumenthal praised the performers’ confidence and ability to share what they had learned with an audience.
The speech and drama sessions, which ended Saturday, included sections for soloists, pairs and groups from six to 16 years and under.
Mrs Blumenthal encouraged the competitors not to stop speaking in public.

The eisteddfod continues until August 12
