MELBOURNE FRINGE AWARDS

ELIGIBILITY & INFORMATION

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:

• Best in Category Awards
• Artist Development Awards
• Touring Awards
• Special Awards

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.

**A list of the 2022 awards and recipients can be found online here.**

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the awards are as follows:

• to identify and celebrate the diversity, innovation and bravery of Melbourne's independent arts sector
• to recognise and profile outstanding artists
• to acknowledge the development of artistic practice
• to foster community for the independent arts sector
• to assist artists with further opportunities following their Melbourne Fringe Festival season
