Tá áthas agus bród ar an Choiste Gairmoideachais bheith páirteach leis an Chomórtas seo arís i mbliana – leis an ardán nuálach agus ábhartha atá cruthaithe acu do cheoltóirí anseo in Éirinn agus an cur chun cinn an teanga Ghaeilge i measc na ndaoine óga. Tá clárama leagtha amach anseo ar na príomhdátaí atá (cuid acu thart) ach an chuid is fearr le teacht ar ndóigh. Sé Gairmcholáiste Bhaile an Droichid ó Loch Garman a bhí mar bhuaiteoirí anuraidh agus rinneadh an seoladh oifigiúil ar Chomórtas BEO i mbliana ansin ar an 19ú Deireadh Fómhair. Tá roinnt pictiúir taobh thíos ar seo fós.Tá ceardlann ar siúl i rith na seachtaine seo (12-16 Samhain) darbh ainm “Saolsráide” san Ionad Cultúrtha Réigiúnach anseo i Leitir Ceanainn faoi stiúradh an t-ealaíontóir cáiliúil Keith Winter ó Londain agus beidh seó iomlán den mhéid a baineadh amach oíche Aoine seo ag 7.30 i.n. agus tá fáilte roimh chách.
