25.01.2022 Due to the rapidly developing situation surrounding COVID-19 virus, the Eisteddfod Association of North Queensland have made the difficult decision to defer this years eisteddfod. The health of our competitors is our number one priority. All competitors will be contacted regarding refunding of entry fees. We will be back again next year for the 94th NQ Eisteddfod, which will now be held in Townsville at Easter 2021. Stay healthy everyone and we look forward to seeing you in Townsville. You may perform the same songs you originally entered this year. You will just need to submit a new entry form when it becomes available later this year

05.01.2022 How fortunate were we that flood waters receded so significantly to allow our friends from Cairns Choral Society and indeed Mackay Choral Society and Home Hill Choral Society to reach Townsville relatively unscathed. The weather Gods were mostly kind to us over the weekend too. Must have been all those Hallelujah's. Now as we keep an eye on TC Iris, we hope you are all safely home and tucked up in your own beds tonight.
