Join MamGu Welshcakes and NTW TEAM for an afternoon of art and performance celebrating the life and work of Dylan Thomas…

…with poetry and storytelling performances from Phil Okwedy, Claire Ferguson-Walker, Angharad Tudor, music from David Friend and live mural artwork by Cara Gaskell. Food and drink will be available to purchase at Mamgu’s.

We are running a poetry competition inspired by the theme of water. Since ‘Dylan’ means ‘son of the sea’, and the poet was born in the seaside town of Swansea, and later lived on the estuary in Laugharne, we’re looking for poems that celebrate our seas, rivers, lakes, and ponds, although poems about water in every form, from waterfalls to fountains, bathtubs to drinking water, are welcome.

You don’t have to be a professional writer to join the competition and we encourage everyone over the age of 16 to enter. Judged by a panel from NTW TEAM and head judge Connor Allen the chosen poem will win two weekend tickets to Solva Edge Festival and an official certificate.

Please send submissions to team@nationaltheatrewales.org by 12 May at 12pm.

The winner will be announced at the event. We can’t wait to read your poems. Good luck!

Dylan Thomas Day is an international day to celebrate the life and work of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, held each year on 14 May, the anniversary of the date when Under Milk Wood was first read on stage at The Poetry Centre, New York in 1953.

Ymunwch â MamGu Welshcakes a TEAM NTW am brynhawn o gelf a pherfformiad yn dathlu bywyd a gwaith Dylan Thomas gyda pherfformiadau barddoniaeth ac adrodd straeon gan Phil Okwedy, Claire Ferguson-Walker, Angharad Tudor, a mwy.

Fel rhan o ddathliadau Diwrnod Dylan Thomas Solfach ar 14 Mai, mae MamGu’s a TEAM NTW yn cynnal cystadleuaeth barddoniaeth wedi’i hysbrydoli gan y thema dŵr. Gan fod ‘Dylan’ yn golygu ‘mab y môr’, a bod y bardd wedi’i eni yn nhref glan môr Abertawe, ac wedi byw yn ddiweddarach ar yr aber yn Nhalacharn, rydyn ni’n chwilio am gerddi sy’n dathlu ein moroedd, ein hafonydd, ein llynnoedd, a’n pyllau, er bod croeso i gerddi am ddŵr ym mhob ffurf, o raeadrau i ffynhonnau, baddonau i ddŵr yfed.

Nid oes rhaid i chi fod yn awdur proffesiynol i ymuno yn y gystadleuaeth ac rydym yn annog pawb dros 16 oed i gymryd rhan. Wedi’i beirniadu gan banel o TEAM NTW a’r prif feirniad Connor Allen bydd y gerdd a ddewisir yn ennill dau docyn penwythnos i Ŵyl Solfach Edge a thystysgrif swyddogol.

Anfonwch eich ceisiadau at team@nationaltheatrewales.org erbyn 12 yp, 12 Mai.

Cyhoeddir yr enillydd yn y digwyddiad. Ni allwn aros i ddarllen eich cerddi. Pob lwc!

Mae Diwrnod Dylan Thomas yn ddiwrnod rhyngwladol i ddathlu bywyd a gwaith y bardd o Gymru, Dylan Thomas, a gynhelir bob blwyddyn ar 14 Mai, sef pen-blwydd y dyddiad y darllenwyd Under Milk Wood am y tro cyntaf ar lwyfan The Poetry Centre, Efrog Newydd ym 1953.
