Ceredigion residents shone at the Urdd National Eisteddfod, bringing home the most medals.

In the recent competition in Maldwyn, Powys, Ceredigion swept up 135 awards, including 53 First Place, 40 Second Place, and 42 Third Place medals.

Despite stiff competition across the entire spectrum of categories, the county showcased exceptional skills from singing and dancing to science, technology, and literature.

A Ceredigion County Council spokesperson praised the children and young people's efforts.

They said: "To see our young people come out on top is fantastic but perhaps what matters most is the opportunities the Urdd has given our young people to enjoy cultural and creative experiences not only at the Urdd National Eisteddfod but also at District and Region Eisteddfodau, and various other competitions and events.

"We’d like to sincerely thank the teachers, volunteers, and parents/guardians that give their time to ensure that young people can enjoy these experiences."

The spokesperson also added: "Congratulations to our competitors, teachers and coaches and also thanks to the Urdd officers for the inspiration."

The Urdd Eisteddfod continues to encourage a celebration of the Welsh language, art, and culture through a variety of popular contests for residents.
