Eisteddfod president Tony Purdon said organising this year's event has been turbulent due to changing pandemic restrictions, but was happy all categories and major events could go ahead with room for audiences to watch for free.
Classical vocal sections kick off the competition in Wollongong with competitors needing to enter in at least two day categories to qualify for the prestigious Operatic Aria sections in the evening.
The Eisteddfod has been running since 1894 with opportunities for performance critique in singing, drama, music instruments, ensembles and dance.
The competition will run from May 29 into July, with competitors performing in an array of musical and dance genres at Wollongong Conservatorium of Music, Wesley Church on the Mall, Figtree Anglican Chuch, Centro CBD and the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre.
