PRIZES

General Information

Fremantle Eisteddfod provides a wide range of prizes throughout all sections.

​

For every section, a trophy will be given to the first prize winner. Cash prizes will also be included with the trophy for more advanced levels or age groups.

For big sections where the prize money is large (up to $1000), there will be a perpetual trophy included. This trophy must be well looked after and must be returned the following year.

​

ONLY the following types of first place winners will perform in the Government House Ballroom. If a winner wins more than one section, only one piece will be selected for performance.

​

​

​

If a student has won more than one of these sections, the Eisteddfod will only choose one performance for the winner (usually the shorter and more virtuosic piece). The piece to be performed will be selected by the Eisteddfod. 

​

Special prize winners are calculated as follows: 

Junior concert special prizes:
•Person who won the most 1st prizes (if it’s even, then we see the number of 2nd prizes) from sections 13/U or lower and Grade 6 and lower.
Senior concert special prizes:

Person who won the most 1st prizes for 15/U and above (1st prizes first, then if 2 people have an even number of 1st prizes, we check 2nd prizes).

​

If a student enrolled in a 13/U and 18/U and won both sections, unfortunately it only counts as 1 win for the Junior section and 1 win for Senior section (no overlapping allowed)

Please refer to the latest section information pdf to see relevant prize money amounts for each section!
