RULES
AND REGULATIONS:
SPECIAL REQUESTS
AND RESCHEDULING
SCHEDULING OF
EVENTS
- Any special requests regarding the scheduling of events should be submitted with the entries, but NOT LATER than the closing date for entries. IMPORTANT : Any special request should be submitted on the SPECIAL REQUEST FORM.
- The details of participation will be distributed to the participating bodies at least 2 to 3 weeks prior to the first adjudication session in each region as indicated above, provided that the entries were submitted before the original closing date for entries. Any extension of the closing date might have an impact on this period. Participants should not wait for this information before they start their preparations for their relevant items and should rather prepare in advance in order to be ready to perform on the first day in each region!
- It is the participant’s responsibility to provide the correct entry number. Failure to do so will result in the processing of incorrect information for which the NEA is not accountable. Once the schedule has been finalized, no changes can be accommodated.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
- Any special requests regarding the scheduling of events should be submitted with the entries, but NOT LATER than the closing date for entries for the particular region. IMPORTANT : ALL special request should be submitted on the SPECIAL REQUEST FORM. The NEA will endeavour to accommodate these circumstances whenever possible, but can give no guarantee in this regard.
SPECIAL ENTRIES
The NEA
always attempts
to accommodate
the needs and
requests of all
participants.
Therefore
participants
have the option
to submit
special requests
pertaining to
unavailable
dates in the
eisteddfod
period. In order
to provide for
unforeseen
circumstances,
the NEA also
allowed for the
rescheduling of
other
problematic
events in the
past. However,
due to the
misuse of this
facility, the
rescheduling of
events has
become
unmanageable.
Subsequently,
management has
decided to
abandon the
concept of
rescheduling all
together. This
has been
replaced by a
system of
special entries.
Special
entries provide
for those
candidates who
have missed
their events as
originally
scheduled. They
will be allowed
to submit a
special entry at
the normal entry
fee to replace
the event that
they couldn’t
attend. These
special entries
will be
scheduled at a
later date
towards the end
of the
eisteddfod on a
date and time as
determined by
the NEA. No
special requests
regarding the
scheduling of
these special
entries will be
allowed.
THE CLOSING
DATE FOR THE
SUBMISSION OF
SPECIAL ENTRIES
IS 5 WORKING
DAYS PRIOR TO
THE LAST DATE OF
ADJUDICATION IN
ANY PARTICULAR
REGION.
- Procedure:
- Complete a new entry form for the particular event.
- Attach the original participant slip for the event.
- Attach proof of payment (normal rate).
- Fax to 011-787-3534 or e-mail to entry@eisteddfod.co.za
- Please note: entries will only be accepted at this email address.
- Special Entries submitted to any other address will automatically be deleted.
- Kindly note that you will not receive notification for rescheduled events well in advance. Participants need to be prepared to perform on short notice.
No
correspondence
and requests
pertaining the
rescheduling of
events other
than the
procedure as
outlined above,
will be allowed.
