Melbourne Fringe Awards are an opportunity for Melbourne’s arts community to celebrate and acknowledge the diversity, professionalism and exceptional quality of work in each year’s Festival.
At Melbourne Fringe we present four different types of awards:
ELIGIBILITY
- To be considered for any of these awards you must nominate your event during registration. By doing so you allow Melbourne Fringe to allocate complimentary tickets to judges of the awards for which your event is eligible.
- In order to be guaranteed eligibility for Best in Category Awards, you event must be presented at least five times within the Melbourne Fringe dates
If an event has fewer than the above stated minimum, eligibility will be subject to the availability of judges.
- Events may be found to be eligible for other reasons, at the discretion of Melbourne Fringe staff and the judging panel. Examples of exceptions include: durational or drop-in works, events where there are limited performances due to disability. If you'd like to raise an eligibility concern, please email [email protected]
- Eligibility is assessed at the time of registration, sessions added after registration may not be considered. Cancellation of sessions after program launch may affect judges’ ability to attend your event and hence your eligibility for awards.
- If your event is eligible we guarantee that at least two judges will attend your event.
