Help file for adding medium & large group entries:
First time users:
Important: you first need to REGISTER online before you can add any participant and submit entries. The process of registering online can be compared to that of “opening an account” ( or billing account in the eisteddfod context). The billing account is the home address of all entries submitted with that account reference. All communication regarding dates and times of participation will go the address as provided on the billing account profile.

Once you have registered online, you can login to the National Eisteddfod ONLINE entry platform.

When you login the MAIN MENU will be displayed.
Click on the UPDATE /ADD Entries 2020 button.
Click on ADD new Entry on the MAIN ENTRIES page.
On the Select Item and Participants page select one of the following options according to the number of participants that will be involved in your new entry. E.g. if it is for a group of 11 – 20 participants select the Medium sized group (11 – 20 participants) option. For more than 20 participants, select the Large group entry option.
On the Select Genre page select the applicable genre, e.g. music, dance, drama.
For an entry in the Speech and Drama genre, click the Drama – Speech and Drama option.

The Select Table A page will provide all the possible options for medium or large groups in the English Speech and Drama Group.

In this instance, only one option is available. Click on Select to continue.
The Select Table C- Grade page will now provide the list of available school grades or phases for the selected item. For example: the members of my group are all in Gr 4 – 6, therefore I select the Intermediate Phase group option.
The Entry Final step and SAVE – Large/Medium group 11 or more page will now be displayed. The content of this form is the “profile” for medium and large group items and needs to be completed with great care.
