On Thursday, 8th of August the winner of the 2019 Her Gyfieithu was announced at a special ceremony in Llanrwst on the site of the National Eisteddfod.

We were pleased to announce the winner was poet and writer, Morgan Owen, who wrote under the pseudonym "Badwr". Morgan received a £200 prize donated by Swansea University and a beautiful Her Gyfieithu staff made by Elis Gwyn from our sponsors, Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru. His winning translation, along with Dr. Aled Llion Jones' adjudication, was published by Welsh-language literary magazine O’r Pedwar Gwynt.
