Cân i Gymru (Song for Wales) is back! And this year, in cooperation with the Wales Millennium Centre, S4C will broadcast the iconic competition from the country's most iconic stage, the Donald Gordon Theatre.

The competition will be broadcast on Friday, March 5th, with Elin Fflur and Trystan Ellis-Morris back to present. 8 songs will be competing against each other for the chance to win £5,000 and the title of Cân i Gymru 2021.

There will also be a unique opportunity for families across the country to join in the fun from their homes by being part of the virtual audience. If you're interested in getting involved, please contact canigymru@avantimedia.tv.

Graeme Farrow, Artistic Director of Wales Millennium Centre, said:

"It is an honour and a pleasure to welcome S4C's iconic Cân i Gymru to Wales Millennium Centre this year – perhaps this year especially.

"As the home for the arts in Wales, we've made it our mission to put the great wealth of talent in Wales, both established and undiscovered, onto our stages in front of huge audiences. Cân i Gymru has over 50 years' experience of doing the very same, and I'm particularly pleased that during such a difficult time for artists, we're able to work together to present this wonderful celebration of song writing."

Elen Rhys, S4C's Entertainment Commissioner, said:

"S4C is delighted that one of our major competitions can take place this year on our country's main stage. Cân i Gymru is an important part of S4C's schedule every year and to showcase the competition on the famous Donald Gordon Theatre stage is very special - certainly the perfect duo!"

Avanti Media will follow all guidelines, legislation and protocols set by the Welsh Government to ensure the safe operation of the work.
