VOORWOORD / FOREWORD

Laerskool Sondagsrivier bied in 2015 ons vierde (4e) Kuns- en Kultuurfees aan. Soos met enige ander fees, bring elke fees

nuwe uitdagings, maar ons mag hier noem dat ons na afloop van drie feeste nou gekonfyt is met die beplanning en uitleg

van so ‘n reusagtige fees. Die 2014 Kunsfees het seepglad verloop. Baie Dankie vir al die inskrywings en ondersteuning.

What is different in the 2015 syllabus? A whole list of things has changed. First and foremost, certain categories have

been expanded to ultimate creative limits. This was done to accommodate pre-school, primary, secondary schools and

adults. This having been said, it is clear that the Arts and Culture Festival brings along some competition within certain

categories. This implies that candidates will focus and master various techniques to utmost perfection in their preparation

process.

More specialist adjudicators are hired for 2015 to aid with the continuous flow of the festival and to uphold our high

standards. More venues have been added in order to accommodate more sessions per day which will also assist in the

general flow of the physical daily adjudication process. Sessions will begin 09:00 sharp every morning until 17:00 in the

afternoon with lunch between 13:00 and 14:00. There will be a good variety of food stalls on the premises for the duration of

the Arts Festival. Tea times for adjudicators are optional. Evening concerts (indoors and outdoors) are scheduled from

18:30 onwards.

‘n Verdere verandering is die uitleg van die terrein weens die talle kunsuitstallings wat gedurende die week van die

Kunsfees gaan plaasvind. In die aande (asook gedurende die dag) gaan daar ook werkswinkels in die vorm van

meestersklasse aangebied word deur verskeie beoordelaars en deskundiges. Daar sal ook (soos alreeds genoem)

konserte plaasvind in die aande tydens die week in aangeduide lokale asook buitelug vertonings/konserte. Hierdie program

sal later bekend gemaak word. Ons is nog besig met onderhandelinge en het nog nie finale uitslag op beplande funksies

nie.

This is a very short summary of the festival in 2015. PLEASE take some time and read this booklet properly. Pay

attention to general issues. DO NOT take things for granted. You might be pleasantly surprised as I have

implemented some very strict rules and regulations for certain matters in the syllabus. This is done not to irritate

anyone. It is implemented to make your visit a very pleasant experience. Read the information boards all over the

Festival grounds. They are there for a reason. Take some time and put in some effort to read the notices, signs

and especially THIS BOOKLET. Everything you need to know is covered in this booklet. Should a program run

late, or early it would be shown on the information boards outside all the venues. I have planned and designed this

Art and Culture Festival in meticulous detail keeping in mind the mistakes of the past and devised ways to eliminate these

little mistakes. It should be one Festival that you will remember for a very, very long time. The learners will enjoy each and

every moment of it.

Enjoy the experience!

GRADING SYSTEM AND AWARDS.

This section is of paramount importance. PLEASE read and study it very carefully.

The very first Arts and Culture Festival in 2012 set the standard for future festivals. Our festival is known all over as a

festival which established itself as a festival to be reckoned with due to its high standard and excellent adjudicators. The

grading system has been revised in order to fit the overall layout of the festival.

DIPLOMAS Beoordelaars maak van die volgende skaal gebruik vir die toekenning van diplomas:

90+ Uitstaande (PRESTIGE) - Goue Medalje 80 – 89 A+ Uitstekend - Goue Diploma 70 - 79 B+ Goed - Silwer Diploma 60 – 69 C Redelik - Rooi (Brons) Diploma 50 – 59 D Meriete - Meriete (Blou) Diploma

• Die beoordelaar se beslissing is finaal. Geen bespreking met die beoordelaars sal geduld word nie. • Beoordelaars mag deelnemers diskwalifiseer indien die reëls van die Kunsfees nie nagekom word nie. NUWE TOEVOEGING: NB: KUNS- EN KULTUURFEES Veelsydigheidstrofeë. Deelnemers moet aan ‘n minimum van 3 kategorieë deelneem om te kwalifiseer vir die gesogte Veelsydigheidstrofeë. Dit beteken dat ‘n leerling byvoorbeeld GOUD (hetsy diploma of medalje) moet ontvang in 3 verskillende kategorieë: Spraak en Drama (Voordrag), Musiek (enige onderafdeling daarvan) en enige ander kategorie in die Kunsfees. Hierdie trofee sal tydens die Laerskool Sondagsrivier SKOUSPEL oggend aan die wenner deur die Departement van Onderwys oorhandig word.

GENERAL RULES OF THE FESTIVAL

1. Teachers, parents/guardians must ensure that all entry forms are completed in full, clear, legible hand writing.

THE FOLLOWING IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE: TEACHERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE ENTRY

ATTENTION TO THIS.

2. TEACHERS SHOULD USE THE APPROPRIATE ENTRY FORMS. DO NOT SCRATCH OUT PRINTED SCRIPT ON

THE ENTRY FORM AND WRITE OTHER INFORMATION ON THE FORM. ALL FORMS ARE 100% CORRECT. USE

APPROPRIATE FORMS. SHOULD YOU WISH TO WRITE A NOTE FOR MY ATTENTION, PLEASE WRITE IT ON

DIPLOMA, ADJUDICATOR COMMENTS ETC. WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU, THE TEACHER

3. All sessions will commence as stipulated on the program which all participating schools will receive on MONDAY

9. There will be ONE Festival appointed photographer on the premises every day for the duration of the festival. A

NO OTHER PHOTOGRAPHY, SOUND or VIDEO RECORDING is allowed during performances as they can distract

10. Mobile phones must be switched off inside the venues.

11. No smoking is allowed inside any of the venues. Please use the sand holders outside the various venues. Do not throw

buds all over the premises.

12. Audiences are welcome to attend all events and their support is greatly appreciated by the performers,

particularly in classes where the entries are small. Not only can you enjoy several hours of music, dance or

drama, but you also have the opportunity to hear a professional give valuable advice and guidance. NO

ADMISSION FEE will be charged during the adjudicating phase for audiences except for workshops, master

classes and evening public concerts when audiences will be expected to pay the entry fee of R20.00.

13. Those in the audience are expected to behave appropriately, e.g. not entering or leaving the venue while a performance

or adjudication is in progress and above all remaining silent while others perform and when the adjudicator or stewards

speak. Anyone deemed not to be behaving appropriately will be asked to leave; no refund will be given in this case.

14. Teachers, Parents/Guardians are responsible at all times for the welfare of the children/young people in their charge.

The Festival does not hold itself responsible for any injury sustained by any candidate or member of the public whilst on

the Festival Premises.

10 15. Please ensure that all entrants are placed in the correct classes. Once the programme has gone to press it is

difficult to make changes.

16. Presentation is an important part of any performance, so consideration will be given to entrants who, for example,

introduce their pieces clearly and acknowledge applause at the end.

17. Any complaints relating to the festival should be sent to the Festival Organiser in writing. Any queries regarding a

session should be directed to the Festival Organiser.

20. We expect all candidates to adhere to the rules of the Festival. The rules are stipulated for a reason. See under THE

VARIOUS CATEGORIES for a detailed outlay thereof.

21. Candidates should not wander around in the school building. Bathrooms for boys and girls are clearly marked. We

expect absolute silence in the corridors as the rest of the school’s day to day activities continue in normal fashion.

22. Adjudication will commence every morning exactly 9:00 and will continue throughout the day till 17:00 in the afternoon.

23. Lunch will be served to all adjudicators between 13:00 and 14:00.

Some of these stalls will we be open until 21:00 in the evening.

25. Teachers/group leaders should report to the secretary on duty outside the venue on arrival. The secretary will

inform teachers about on-site and actual developments at that specific moment. Information boards will be

available outside each and every venue with a detailed list of the happenings inside the venue. It will also be

marked with colour pencils to ensure that everybody is aware of the session progress.

26. ALL TEACHERS: All teachers are invited to enjoy bottomless cups of coffee and tea in the Staff room for the duration

of the Eisteddfod FREE OF CHARGE. We also provide sandwiches and other delights for teachers in the staff

room. Please help yourself. This is an added extra that I have arranged for teachers. There are also lots of wooden

benches all over the premises. Sit and relax.

27. MOST IMPORTANTLY: There is a shop across the road from Sundays River Primary School. NO CANDIDATE is

allowed (without adult supervision) to leave the premises of the Festival. This is a farming, citrus and tourism area.

Massive trucks, busses and tractors are constantly on this road. The Festival nor Sundays River Primary School will

take any responsibility for any accidents that might happen during the festival. Headmasters, Teachers and

Parents/Guardians should pay careful attention to this. Should the Organizer notice children moving across the road to

the shop, I will assume that permission was given by the child’s parent/guardian or teacher. High School pupils should

NOT send younger children to the shop. There is NO reason to visit the shop. There are plenty of food stalls on the

school premises. You can pick and choose what you want to eat and drink. Furthermore, children should stay clear of

the swimming pool area. The swimming pool is not a VENUE. You do not belong there. Access gates to the pool will

be locked for the duration of the festival. It is end of winter. It is still very cold. There is no need to wander around at

the pool.

ADJUDICATION / BEOORDELING

ADJUDICATORS / BEOORDELAARS

Die Kunsfees akkommodeer ‘n magdom beoordelaars vanoor die hele Oos-Kaap in 2015..

Candidates should be properly informed that the function of the adjudicator is not to pull him or her apart, but instead, to give

valuable criticism based on what they’ve heard during a session. Some adjudicators have a special way to bring candidates

into a relaxed state before actual performance, whether with a smile or a friendly good morning or good afternoon. Others

appear extremely difficult and annoyed, but give candidates equally excellent advice and guidance. This is normal. No

human is the same. We all differ. These adjudicators are all experts and highly skilled in the various fields with years of

experience.

The identities of the adjudicator’s will not be revealed before the Festival. This information remains confidential

with the Festival Organizer and the Principal of Sundays River Primary School.

Some sessions will only have ONE adjudicator, other sessions may have two, three or even a panel of judges,

depending on the entries per session received.

The accommodation of the various adjudicators remains confidential.

The Adjudicators decision is final.

Any queries or comments that may arise from participation in the festival should be directed in writing to the

Festival Officer.

In general, adjudicators (in some categories) will adjudicate certain sessions according to certain general criteria

which they (at times) attached to the diploma together with their comments. Other adjudicators judge without this

criterion. NO ADJUDICATOR WILL EVER ADJUDICATE A LEARNER AGAINST HIGHER CRITERIA THAN

THAT OF HIS AGE OR GRADE. ADJUDICATORS ARE WELL AWARE OF THE AGES OF THE LEARNERS

AND THEIR CURRENT STANDARDS. THE ADJUDICATION PROCESS IS EXTREMELY FAIR AND OPEN.

Most of the adjudicators will give brief comments and suggestions when a session is finished. Others might even

give comments and suggestions immediately after individually. There is never any certainty about this matter.

This really depends on the adjudicator. This is truly valuable information. It is requested that all candidates remain

in their venues for the duration of their session. It is by watching others perform and hearing the Adjudicators

comments that maximum benefit is derived from the Festival.

Teachers are requested not to interfere with adjudicators. Please leave them alone. There are some

teachers that are very forward to approach adjudicators thinking that they know better. Adjudicators are here to

render their services to Sundays River Primary School. It should always be remembered that adjudicators

are not attending the Art Festival out of free will. They are in fact (for the duration of their stay) employed

and paid by the school and they will act according to the rules of the festival and school as explained and

discussed with them during the planning stages.

As far as humanly possible we aim to bring in adjudicators not known by the public and teachers. However, this is

not always possible. Certain adjudicators are well known, others are totally unknown to most teachers and

participants and others did excellent work during the past three Festivals and are brought back for 2015. We also

aim to bring in new adjudicators every year, but this is not always possible, but you can expect to see some new

faces during 2015.

Adjudicators are here for only one core reason: we should learn from their expertise and advice.

12

ENTRIES

Entry forms are not published separately. All entry forms appear within the syllabus immediately after each and every

session. Entry forms may be photocopied.

ALL ENTRIES MUST:

1. be made on the proper forms

5. include all the names and surnames of the candidates especially where a group entry is made. In a group entry (except

speech choir, class singing and choirs) each candidate receives a diploma. We do not want to decipher the correct spelling

of names and surnames. All diplomas are printed according to the entry forms. Please ensure correct spelling of names

and surnames. This is very sensitive. If the Festival Officer is unable to read the writing, he will type the name or surname

according to his knowledge if he does not have a contact number of the teacher or candidate.

6. be accompanied with the appropriate fee. Entry forms without the fees will be rendered incomplete and will be

disqualified. (see the section of FEES above).

7. NO LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED. Please check the various opening and closing dates in this syllabus. It is

very important and the organizer has imposed extremely strict behaviour on the part of the Festival committee regarding late

entries. It will not be tolerated.

GENERAL:

1. A separate entry form must be used for each class and item entered.

2. Candidates who enter more than one item in a class must complete an entry form for each entry and accompanied by the

appropriate fee.

3. No changes will be accepted after the entry has been received.

4. It is not necessary for teachers/parents etc. to put the entry forms in a particular order. We sieve all entries into

categories (once received) according to age, category, session etc. as soon as we’ve received all entries from schools.

See the particular entry on the following pages regards special requests and transport.

4. Entry fees cannot be refunded.

5. If any performer finds it necessary to withdraw from any class, notification should be given as soon as possible to: Ms.

Daun Strydom at Sundays River Primary School by no later than Friday 7th August 2015.

6. “Own choice” selections must be specifically titled on the entry form. Otherwise, the entry will be considered incomplete

and will not be included in the schedule.

Sundays River Primary School Eisteddfod aims to provide a safe and caring environment for all its participants, and to

conform to current child protection legislation. The following constitutes the policy for Sundays River Primary School

Eisteddfod.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Art and Culture Festival to advance the education of children in Arts and Culture, by holding an

annual non- competitive festival and presenting public performances.

ENVIRONMENT

It is our policy to involve parents/guardians/carers and teachers in partnership with us, to ensure a safe environment at

the festival, insofar it is reasonably practicable.

APPLICATION

The policy relates both to children under the age of 18 and to those vulnerable adults who are identified to the

organizers prior to their arrival at the festival. The festival recognizes the needs of children who are disabled or from

ethnic minorities, and will seek to meet any specific needs notified to the festival in advance by

parents/guardians/carers or teachers.

PERSONNEL

The Art and Culture Festival at Sundays River Primary School is held by our Department of Art and Culture and is

assisted by private and full-time staff and volunteers, all of whom have independent references and are briefed about

the terms of this policy. Should any problem arise regarding the terms of this policy, it should be notified to the Festival

Committee, identifiable by badge, who will take appropriate action in a discreet manner.

PREPARATION

All participants in this festival will be expected to have seen this policy. In accordance with this policy, it is essential

that parents/guardians/carers not personally attending the festival be satisfied that their children etc. are accompanied

and adequately supervised by responsible adults acting on their behalf. The staff of Sundays River Primary School will

not undertake this role. With group entries, the group leader must ensure that all parents/guardians/carers are aware

of this policy. Each person signing the entry form thereby takes full responsibility for those entered by the form.

CHANGING AREAS

It is emphasized that the article above applies equally to changing areas, i.e. that responsibility remains with the

supervising adult in each case. Property left unattended is not the responsibility of Sundays River Primary School.

PHOTOGRAPHY

As previously mentioned in this booklet, no photography (including video photography) is permitted at the festival, other

than by accredited members of the press or appointed photographer by the Festival Organiser. Such photography will

always take place in a public place. Any parent/guardian/carer not wishing the individual (s) in their care to be

photographed must notify the photographer in good time.

CONCLUSION

All concerned are again reminded of the purpose of this festival. Sundays River Primary School and the Festival

Committee will not tolerate inappropriate behaviour from any participant. Participants should always keep in mind that

(although such Festivals can be lots of fun) any Festival of this kind is a learning process. We provide a professional

platform for all to showcase their respective talents and it should be respected as such.

MODERN/CONTEMPORARY DANCE

This category is designed for the very young at heart that have positive energy, stamina, determination, fitness and

personality to make a real success of this session. Interpretation and improvisation plays a huge part here. Also known as

20th century concert dance. Modern dancers reject the limitations of classical ballet and favour movements derived from the

expression of their inner feelings. Modern dancers express their innermost emotions through dance, often becoming closer

to their inner selves. Before attempting to choreograph a routine, the modern dancer decides which emotions to try convey

to the audience.

Appropriate music should be selected for the dance idea or arrangement

Costumes should suit the dance idea or style

Focus attention on dance movement and dance composition

Accompaniment – Own choice. Electronic music should be saved on CD/DVD/MEMORY STICK in a recognizable

computer format like mp3 and handed to the sound engineer before the session begins.

A maximum of two (2) dances may be performed.

AFRICAN DANCE

African dance embodies athleticism and a graceful beauty flowing with rhythm. In Africa, dance is a means of marking the

experiences of life, encouraging abundant crops, and healing the sick soul and body. It is also done purely for enjoyment.

All ceremonial African Dances have purpose. They tell stories and relate history. The distinctive beat of powerful African

drums, energetic African dance – warriors, gumboot dancers, pantsula and township jive. A real slice of vibrant AFRICA!!!

The Art and Culture Festival of 2013 had seen some extraordinary African dance groups in this category. It was

phenomenal.

TEACHERS: Like some of the other categories, successful groups in this session will also be invited to perform on

the main stage at the Citrus Sports Day.

WELL DONE TO THE DANCE GROUPS OF KABEGA PRIMARY WHO WERE INVITED TO PERFORM AT

THE CITRUS SPORTS DAY IN 2014. IT WAS VERY CLEAR TO US THAT THE CROWD REALLY ENJOYED

YOUR PERFORMANCE! A SPECIAL WORD OF THANKS TO MS VIRGINIA GROENEWALD AND HER

style of this particular dance type.

KUNS- EN KULTUURFEES 2015 SKOUSPEL

FORMELE KONSERT / FORMAL CONCERT

It has been decided by the Festival Organiser and the Principal of Sundays River Primary School that this concert will not be

hosted in the evening as of 2015. Instead, the prestige concert followed by a very exclusive cheese and wine function will

be held on Saturday morning 29th August 2015 at Sundays River Primary School at 11:00 after which

we will embark on a relaxed and very special function in our Sport Facility where invited guests can indulge in excellent

cuisine in a very special and relaxed atmosphere with fires burning and we will also have an open bar for those wishing to

spend the Saturday with us. Big Screen Television will also be available. This decision has not been made lightly but was

decided upon due to various schools having other activities during the week in the evenings, parents that do not wish to

travel late at night etc. The solution was to change the evening function into a beautiful and relaxed function on a Saturday

morning when everybody is relaxed and can drive through at their own time and speed to enjoy the day with us with no

worries about time restraints, rushing traffic, dangerous night driving etc. This will also ensure that all invited candidates will

be able to attend this prestigious function.

During the adjudication process of the festival, the adjudicator secretary has a list of all performing candidates and all

awards are inserted next to each candidate’s name. However, teachers/parents and candidates will notice that the

organiser will be moving around from venue to venue and attend certain sessions. This is not done for the fun of it. The

organiser look and listen to candidates and might approach a teacher/parent/candidate directly to invite such a candidate to

the cheese and wine function. This invite will also be done formally to the principal of the school involved. At the end of the

festival, these lists are handed to the Organizer and candidates are then invited to showcase the complete festival. The

concert of 2015 will also differ as we will include less individual poems, and would be able to add more of the other

categories for example: speech choirs, choirs, class singing, modern dancing, African dance, Marimba Bands etc. We

would thus be able to cover the entire spectrum of the festival.

CATEGORY B

SPEECH AND DRAMA / SPRAAK EN DRAMA

This category is divided into two (2) sessions: Afrikaans and English

Entrants may only present one (1) piece in each session. However, entrants may present a piece in English and

another piece in Afrikaans. Two (2) separate entry forms must be completed and the appropriate fee attached to

each entry.

Teachers are allowed to enter a maximum of 10 learners per session. Due to time constraints and large

volumes of entries we cannot (as in the past) allow more than 10.

Source material such as published novels, poems, plays etc. may be found in school or public libraries. Use of

South African work is encouraged and the use of the internet is allowed.

Entrants must not exceed the time limits provided.

Entrants should perform in school uniform unless the content of the work allows for other clothing to enhance the

work and/or to allow for a better and logical overall performance.

Closing date for all entries in this Category is on Monday 22nd June 2015

See the time limits for each grade.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We urge teachers and parents NOT to annoy adjudicators and audiences by teaching

candidates the same poems. It is terribly frustrating to sit and listen to 5 candidates reciting the same poem.

There is more than enough time for everybody to learn a poem of their own. Please pay special attention to this

matter.

Candidates are allowed to recite1 poem in Afrikaans and another poem in English if they so wish. Clearly mark

this on the entry forms to avoid confusion when sorting the entries and when the program is compiled. For

example: 1st Entry: Dave Davids – L1.6 (English)

2nd Entry: Dave Davids – L1.6 (Afrikaans)

In order to save time, space and paper, the entry forms has been designed in such a way to make it easier to enter for the

various sub-sessions per category. Read and complete them carefully.

SESSION: M

SPEAKING CHOIR (also known as Choral Verse, Speech Choir) SPREEKKOOR

The purpose of this session is to provide the opportunity for a group of speakers to perform a selected piece co-operatively

– and the effective communication of the selection using appropriate technical and interpretive skills. Choral verse speaking

offers great scope for young people to learn and perform together, with a unity of purpose, and is ideal for class groups. It

also encourages the development of confidence in: 1) speaking clearly and fluently, 2) interpreting a text, 3) working with

others, and 4) following directions.

For the purpose of this Festival we will only concentrate on the following TYPES of Speech Choir:

M1

CONVENTIIONAL (TRADITIONAL) SPEECH CHOIR

This type does not require the use of props, costumes, nor choreography.

The size of the choir can be determined by the teacher/conductor but may not be less than 10 pupils and NOT

more than 40 pupils.

Poems etc. must be memorized.

Maximum time for ALL grades: 10 minutes

A conductor is not necessary if you are sure that your choir members really know their parts well, but most often

those who win speech choir contests has a conductor. A conductor helps the focus of your pupils.

The conductor may stand at the back of the judges. He/She may conduct in any manner he/she wants as long as

he/she guides the participants for an effective speech choir presentation.

The choir may be divided into light, medium and dark voices.

Solo voices for effect, contrast, etc. are allowed.

Languages: English or Afrikaans.

A speech choir may present a work in English and another in Afrikaans. This must be clearly stipulated on the

63

SESSION: N1

MIME/MIMIEK

Mime is one of the most ancient forms of theatre. The idea is to perform a piece or scene in complete silence. It creates the

illusion of objects around you using gestures (hand movements) and facial expressions without the use of speech.

Mime artists are generally identified by the following:

Dress like mime: Serious mimes might not wear the classic costume anymore, but it is an easily recognizable Halloween or

party costume. For example: Find a black and white horizontally striped shirt, ideally with a boat neck and three-quarter

sleeves. Wear dark pants, black suspenders, white wrist-length gloves, and a black bowler hat to complete the look.

Mime makeup

A mime is instantly identifiable by his or her makeup – white grease paint over the face, (but not on the throat), thick black

eyeliner with stylized “tears” running to about the middle of the cheekbones, dark painted-on eyebrows, and black or dark

red lipstick.

Use your body to talk. Talking or mouthing words is unnecessary during miming. Instead, use facial expressions, gestures

and posture to do the “talking”. Use a mirror (or an audience) to assess what movements are the most successful in

conveying emotions, attitudes and reactions. A full length mirror is a necessity for beginners, but bear in mind the mirror is

a friend you will need to leave behind at performance time.

Cultivate your imagination.

Most importantly for a mime is to truly believe the illusion is real.

The Festival will not prescribe topics for this session. Candidates are free to perform whatever makes them feel at

ease and comfortable.

ONE entry per candidate.

Costumes are not obligatory. Candidate’s choice.


This session is open for all grades.

N1.1 Grade 1 N1.7 Grade 7

Candidates are free to use published works but are encouraged to use their own imagination and to create their own plays.

regulations of the festival especially the section of child protection policy.

Candidates are limited to a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 15 minutes.

The Festival will allow for short breaks of 10 minutes between acts (if chosen) in order for candidates to prepare

ORIGINAL WRITING / OORSPRONKLIKE SKRYFWERK

The Festival Organizer has seen fit to enlarge this category tremendously and due to the simple fact that we also have to

cater for our High School candidates according to Grades. Thus, you will find TWO (2) distinct divisions in this session; one

for Primary Schools and the other for High Schools.

P1

PRIMARY SCHOOLS

PROSE

GUIDE: It is basically written words structured the same as spoken words. Novels, essays, short stories, and works of

criticism are examples of prose. Other examples include: comedy, drama, fable, fiction, hagiography, legend, myth,

science fiction, story, essay, newspaper article. Prose lacks the more formal structure of VERSE that is almost always

found in traditional poetry.

Type of Prose, length and subject is entirely the candidates own choice.

Work can be either neatly written or typed.

A maximum of 300 words for this session

Works can be either in English or Afrikaans.

Candidates are free to write two (2) pieces in either language, but are reminded that two entry forms must be

submitted. One for each language as well as the appropriated fee attached.

VERY IMPORTANT: Teachers and Parents are NOT allowed to assist candidates in their writing works. This is

of paramount importance. Teachers are not at liberty to rectify any spelling or grammatical mistakes for

candidates. Teachers are requested to sign the declaration of oath ON THE ENTRY FORM, stating that it is

indeed the ORIGINAL work of the candidate without interference of the teacher or parent. The best way for

teachers to control and oversee this matter is to allow candidates to write their original work IN CLASS under

supervision and to assemble all work at the end of the period. NO OUTSIDE SOURCES FOR EXAMPLE,

dictionaries or internet may be used. Should the adjudicator suspect any interference of the teacher or parent,

the entry will be considered invalid and will be penalised. Such a candidate will forfeit the entry fee. This equally

applies to High School candidates as well.

This session is NOT OPEN FOR GRADES 1 AND 2

P3.4.3 Grade 10

GENERAL ADVICE:

Here are eight simple guidelines for a good writing style:

Never use a metaphor, simile, or figure of speech, when you are used to seeing it in print.

Never use a long word when a short one will do.

If it is possible to cut a word out, cut it out.

Never use the passive when you can use the active.

Never use a foreign phrase or jargon if there is an everyday English or Afrikaans equivalent.

Write short sentences. Avoid long, complex sentences.

Listen to what you write.

Here are some DEADLY SINS to avoid when writing novels, BUT they apply mostly equally well to short prose:

Never open a book with weather

Avoid prologues

Never use a verb other than “said” to carry dialogue

Never use an adverb to modify the verb “said”…

Keep our exclamation marks under control

Never use the words “suddenly” or “all hell broke loose”

Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly

Avoid detailed descriptions of characters

Don’t go into great detail describing places and things.

Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip

These works are attached to the exhibition surfaces by staple gun, pins, and other resources.

Ensure that all mounting suits this method of display. Presentation of art work is crucial as we will invite

outstanding candidates to the Gala evening in the form of a cheese and wine function where we will display these

art works.

The class into which the work is being entered must be indicated on the front of the mounting. The name of the

candidate, grade, age, school, and address must be clearly displayed on the back of the work.

A maximum of three (3) works per candidate may be submitted. A separate entry form accompanied by the

The Festival does not pin-down fixed rules for themes etc. We feel that we would like to see creativity without

boundaries. Creativity will be of utmost importance in the higher grades.

Adjudicators will judge artworks according to grade and age. Teachers should be careful that a Grade 6

candidate does not submit a work that appears like the work of a Grade 2 candidate.

16 SKETCHES

Definitions of sketches (sometimes) are very vague. Wikipedia has a very good description thereof and I quote:

A sketch is a rapidly executed freehand drawing hat is not usually intended as a finished work. A sketch may serve a

number of purposes: it might record something that the artist sees, it might record or develop an idea for later use or it

might be used as a quick way of graphically demonstrating an image, idea or principle. Sketches can be made in any

drawing medium. The term is most often applied to graphic work executed in a dry media such as silverpoint, graphite,

pencil, charcoal or paste. But it may also apply to drawing executed in pen and ink, ballpoint pen, water colour and oil paint.

The latter two are generally referred to as “water colour sketches” and “oil sketches”.








85
