We would like to offer businesses and organisations a unique opportunity to assist us in promoting the artistic endeavours of the youth of north Queensland and at the same time promote your business.

The Eisteddfod provides performance opportunities in visual and performing arts for the youth of Townsville, although participants also come from all over Queensland, from Cairns to Brisbane and west to Mt Isa.

The Eisteddfod is operated by a team of dedicated volunteer workers. It runs for 19 days involving over 2000 entrants including up to 35 schools. More than 18000 individual performances take place in two theatres and audience numbers can exceed 1000 for a session.
