Arts, Music, and Baking Competitions
Showcase your Irish cultural talents beyond the dance stage! Specific syllabi details are available on Feisworx, but generally, these categories are open to all and are a wonderful opportunity to participate:
- Art: Submit your creative work with an Irish cultural theme (e.g., Celtic knots, legends). Be sure to label it clearly with your name, age, and phone number.
- Music: Non-dancers are welcome to enter. Perform a vocal or instrumental Irish tune of your choice within a time limit (typically 2.5 minutes).
- Baking: Enter your best baked good! This competition is often divided into categories like white or brown bread, fancy bread, or decorated cakes, at the discretion of the judges. Note: For the Houston Harvest Feis, entries must typically be delivered wrapped in plastic to the registration table by the morning of the feis (e.g., 9:30 a.m. for the Houston Harvest Feis).
