In 1893, Rees participated in the Eisteddfod that was held as part of the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois, winning the Bardic Chair and a $500 prize for a 2,000 line awdl on the set subject Iesu o Nazareth ("Jesus of Nazareth").[2]

Rees went on to become the Archdruid of the Gorsedd Cymru and to announce the posthumous victory of Hedd Wyn at the famous 1917 "Eisteddfod of the Black Chair" in Birkenhead.[3]
