Osian Wyn Owen is a recognised poet who is quickly making a name for himself. In 2018, he was the Chief Bard of the Brycheiniog and Radnor Urdd Eisteddfod, and he also won the double – the Chair and the Crown – at the Lampeter Intercollegiate Eisteddfod in 2018. He also won the Eisteddfod-T main poetry prize in 2020. He writes in strict metre and in 2019 he received funding from Barddas to attend a course on cynghanedd at Tŷ Newydd Writing Centre. Since then, he has been perfecting his craft by attending cynghanedd lessons in Caernarfon under the guidance of the Poet Rhys Iorwerth, and now teaches poetry himself. He is a very productive poet, competing on the Talwrn radio programme with the Chwe Mil team, and regularly contributes poems to various magazines. Originally from Felinheli, Osian went to University in Bangor to study Welsh and now lives in Caernarfon running his own Public Relations company called Ar Goedd.
