Following an open call to music creators, three artists will be selected to work with a composer mentor throughout the first half of 2025 to write for an ensemble of four players. All three pieces newly composed will be performed at the Eisteddfod in 20245, and the Trophy will be awarded to the winning composition. If appropriate, the work may be published by Tŷ Cerdd.

Medal y Cyfansoddwr theme this year is Cymru fydd. In recognition of centenary of the birth of Islwyn Ffowc Elis, one of Wrexham’s finest sons, we want artists to give us an idea of how they might respond in music to his epic novel 'Wythnos yng Nghymru Fydd'.
