Our Platinum Sponsor
for 2008 is:
What a year it has been already. Well the entries have closed and the committee has been working endlessly to ensure we have running sheets, volunteers, sponsors and the official program ready. Once again the Burdekin community has rallied together to support a fantastic event, entries for music are high and we are seeing some new faces in the eisteddfod this year in the wake of the successful production of OLIVER!. Our Dance competition is looking fierce with over 50 competitors entering the new Modern Improvisation and 20 competitors in the reborn Tap Championship. Highland and Irish entries are also increased and the committee has received positive feedback with the move to split the sections over 2 days. The budding talents of the Burdekin will showcase their flair for the dramatic in the Speech and Drama sections and some fantastic entries for Art & Literary have been brought in, a particular section to look our for is the returned Any 3D Art Form.
The Grant allowed the eisteddfod committee to purchase a new data projector, 2 new printers and a much needed new vacuum cleaner for the office. With this new technology competitor numbers, section information and sponsorship will be able to be displayed permanently through out performances. The Burdekin Junior Eisteddfod would like to thank Peter Pattinson, Lyn Collins and the team at Queensland Country Credit Union for this tremendous opportunity to allow us to become the pioneer in eisteddfod technology. Well as always keep an eye on this website for any changes and updates. Cheers Colin Micale You are Visitor no. :

In keeping with the times during 2007 the Burdekin Junior
Eisteddfod applied for a Community Grant from the Queensland Country Credit
Union. This year's eisteddfod will be the first eisteddfod to be fully
automated, the adjudicators secretary, the committee table, chairman and the
president will all be networked and able to communicate.
