The online entry system to compete in this year\u2019s Royal National M\u00f2d<\/strong> closes soon. Individual and group competitors wishing to take part in the 2024 event, taking place from 11-19 October 2024<\/strong> in Oban<\/strong>, have until midnight on Friday 31 May 2024<\/strong> to submit their entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year marks a poignant homecoming for the iconic event, Scotland\u2019s premier celebration of the Gaelic language, music and culture, as it returns to Oban for the 17th time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oban is fondly recognised as the home of the M\u00f2d, with An Comunn G\u00e0idhealach, the organisation who run the Royal National M\u00f2d and a network of local M\u00f2ds across Scotland, founded there in 1891. They went on to hold the first ever M\u00f2d in the Argyllshire town the following year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 11 \u2013 19 October, Oban\u2019s venues, pubs and streets will come to life with musical competition, processions, concerts, workshops, sessions and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full list of competitions<\/strong> taking place for Oban\u2019s 2024 M\u00f2d, including singing, b\u00e0rdachd, instrumental, drama and Highland dancing categories, can be found in the M\u00f2d syllabuses atancomunn.co.uk\/nationalmod\/syllabus<\/a> and entries can be submitted before the end of the month athttps:\/\/enter.ancomunn.co.uk\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marina MacKay, M\u00f2d Officer at<\/strong>An Comunn G\u00e0idhealach, said: \u201c<\/strong>With just over two weeks until competition entries close, I strongly encourage anyone thinking about applying for the 2024 M\u00f2d to submit their application and make sure they are part of this year\u2019s spectacular event in Oban. Last year\u2019s M\u00f2d in Paisley welcomed over 8,000 visitors, including over 2,000 participants, to over 200 events and we expect this year\u2019s festival to bring together even more people to celebrate Gaelic music and culture. We\u2019re looking forward to welcoming Scotland\u2019s best singers and players from across the Gaeldom to this year\u2019s festival.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Royal National M\u00f2d<\/strong> is supported by EventScotland<\/strong>, B\u00f2rd na G\u00e0idhlig<\/strong>, Argyll and Bute Council<\/strong>,EventScotland<\/strong>, The Scottish Government<\/strong>, HIE<\/strong>, Caledonian MacBrayne, BBC ALBA<\/strong> and SQA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
