## Resource

Australia’s beloved eisteddfods are in crisis, with rising costs, volunteer shortages, and lack of government support threatening their survival. While some, like the Centralian Eisteddfod, have short-term funding, long-term futures hang in the balance. These festivals are lifelines for young performers, offering vital stage experience and life skills — but without urgent action, they risk disappearing, cutting off a crucial pipeline for Australia’s next generation of artists.
