Farpais an Fhaoillich! - January Competition!

🖊️✒️🖊️

Tha #sgrìobhi ag amas air cothrom a thoirt do luchd-ionnsachaidh na Gàidhlig a bhith cruthachail leis a' chànan, 's iad a' toirt sùil air an làraich-lìn againn cuideachd 🙂

Bho mhìos gu mìos, bidh cuspair ùr ann. Ma bhuannaicheas an sgeul agadsa, thèid fhoillseachadh an seo air an làrach-lìn againn!

’S e 2025 a th’ ann agus tha farpais #sgrìobhi air ais! 🎆 An turas seo, cuiridh sinn rudeigin rud beag eadar-dhealaichte air chois - farpais bàrdachd 📜✒️

Ma tha thu airson pàirt a ghabhail, feumaidh tu dìreach pìos bàrdachd a sgrìobhadh sa Ghàidhlig mu chuspair sam bith, suas ri 150 facal a dh’fhaide (ceann-latha: Didòmhnaich, 26 am Faoilleach, 11:59f). An uair sin, cuir gu info@anlochran.com e.

Seo na riaghailtean eile:

1. Na dìochuimhnich tiotal a thoirt air a’ phìos agad!

2. Faodaidh neach-ionnsachaidh sam bith pàirt a ghabhail - cha leig thu leas a bhith a' fuireach ann an Glaschu

3. Cuiridh sinn fàilte air pìosan le daoine aig a bheil Gàidhlig on ghlùn cuideachd, ach chan fhaod sinn am foillseachadh, leis gur e luchd-ionnsachaidh a tha farpais #sgrìobhi ag amas air

4. Ged nach bi duais ann ma bhuannaicheas tu, thèid am pìos agad fhoillseachadh air an làraich-lìn againn, cuide ri eadar-theangachadh gu Beurla (gus taic a thoirt do luchd-ionnsachaidh eile) agus clàradh-guth

5. A rèir laghan còir-lethbhreac, cumaidh tu na còraichean air an sgeul agad. Chan fheuch An Lòchran ri airgead a chosnadh às gu bràth.

👎 Seo na rudan nach eil ceadaichte: 👎

1. Cha ghabh sinn ri pìosan air an sgrìobhadh ann an cànan eile seach a' Ghàidhlig (tha grunn fhaclan cèin ceart gu leòr, ma tha a' Ghàidhlig na prìomh chànan sa phìos agad)

2. Cha ghabh sinn ri pìosan nas fhaide na 150 facal

3. Cha ghabh sinn ri pìosan a gheibh sinn às dèidh a' chinn-latha

4. Chan eil sanasachd ceadaichte

5. Chan eil cainnt-ghràin ceadaichte

6. Feumaidh am pìos a bhith nad obair fhèin.

Gur math a thèid leat!

#sgrìobhi is aimed at giving the learners among us the opportunity to get creative with the Gaelic language whilst having a browse of the An Lòchran website as well 🙂

Each month, there’ll be a new subject. If your story wins, it’ll be published here on our website!

It’s 2025 and #sgrìobhi is back! 🎆 This month, we’re running something slightly different - a poetry competition 📜✒️

Fancy taking part? Just write a piece of poetry in Scottish Gaelic about a subject of your choice, up to 150 words in length (deadline: Sunday 26th January, 11:59pm). When you’re done, send it in to info@anlochran.com.

Here are the other rules:

1. Don't forget to give your piece a title!

2. Any learners can take part - you don't have to be living in Glasgow

3. Native speakers are also welcome to submit an entry, but we won't be able to publish it, as #sgrìobhi is aimed at learners of Gaelic

4. Although there's no prize for winning, your piece will be published on our website, along with a translation into English (to help other learners) and a voice recording

5. Under copyright law, you'll retain the rights to your story. An Lòchran will never attempt to monetise it.

👎 Here's what's not allowed: 👎

1. We can't accept entries written in a language other than Scottish Gaelic (the occasional non-Gaelic word is fine, as long as the main language of your story is Gaelic)

2. We can't accept entries longer than 150 words

3. We can't accept entries submitted after the deadline

4. No promotions

5. No hate speech

6. The entry must be your own work.

Good luck!
