Welsh poets have a job already

From an article concerning the rush to laureates in the UK:

Calls for a Welsh poet laureate to match the newly-appointed "Scots Makar" have been dismissed as unnecessary by the Eisteddfod's Archdruid.

But what is the Eisteddfod?

Here's a bit more of the Bard Contest:
The high points of excitement come twice during the week-long festival - first with the Crowning of the Bard (the author of the best poem on a set theme in free metre) and then with the Chairing of the Bard (an honour conferred on the author of the best poem in strict metre). These take place in the Grand Pavilion, which is claimed to be the largest movable structure in the world.

Belated Congratulations Twm!!!
