29 March - 2 April 2020 
​Organised by DEC & Culture Vannin the Manx Folk Awards are always held the last week before the Easter holidays at the Douglas Youth Arts Centre and Trinity Church.  This is so you can enter The Guild with some of the same entries which should make your life easier! And also because at the end of that week the Shennaghys Jiu festival is held. Shennaghys Jiu is a non competitive youth festival and is held the first weekend of the Easter holidays, 3rd - 6th April 2020.
​The Manx Folk Awards are very informal competitions and we are always looking to encourage schools to take part for the first time.
​We are able to come in and help out teaching simple dance steps, tunes and help with Manx pronunciation.
​So there's no excuse not to get involved!​ Its all about the FUN!
