Guth na hÉigse

Is Comórtas Aithrise Filíochta d’Iar-Bhunscoileanna é Guth na hÉigse, bunaithe ar Poetry Aloud, atá á eagrú ag Poetry Ireland i gcomhar le IMRAM.  

Guth na hEigse is a Poetry Recitation Competition for Post - Primary Schools in the Irish language, based on Poetry Aloud, organized by Poetry Ireland in collaboration with IMRAM.                                               

Cuireann Guth na hÉigse fáilte roimh iontrálacha ó dháltaí in iarbhunscoileanna ar oileán na hÉireann, thuaidh agus theas, scoileanna Béarla, Gaelcholáistí agus scoileanna Gaeltachta san áireamh.

Guth na hEigse welcomes entries from pupils in post-primary schools across the island of Ireland, north and south, including English schools, Gaelcholáisti and Gaeltacht schools.          

Tá dhá chéim sa chomórtas, an chéad bhabhta agus an babhta ceannais. Bíonn ar iarrthóirí dánta a aithris ó chuimhne ag gach céim den chomórtas. Iarrtar ar rannpháirtithe DHÁ dhán ón liosta thíos a rá DE GHLANMHEABHAIR ag gach babhta. Níl cead na dánta a léamh;caithfear na dánta a bheith ar eolas de ghlanmheabhair.
