The Fringe World Awards celebrate the stunning array of talent at the Festival with over $450K paid directly to our Award Winning Artists since 2012.
Fringe World Awards are given to the best shows in each genre and specialty award category. Each Wednesday of the Festival Weekly Winners are announced across socials, with the Annual Overall Winners revealed in a special ceremony on the final day of the Fringe.
Last Fringe cash awards and bursaries were DOUBLED! This resulted in over $50K worth of prizes granted to the 2024 Fringe World Award Winners, with our talented WA acts earning over 70% of the total prize pool.
The Awards Program is supported by over 100 volunteer judges drawn from Perth’s artistic community. This panel of judges review eligible shows across the Festival and together vote for the acts worthy of citical acclaim. CHOOKAS to all the incredible acts in the draw to WIN WIN in 2025!
Special thanks to the generous contributions made by our Sponsors, as well as the wonderful people who attend the arts in Perth, your support matters!
Funding for the Awards Program comes directly from the generous donations made to The Fringe Fund and from part proceeds generated from the sales of products made by the legends at Gage Roads Brew Co with their cheeky brew Pinky Sunset Cider and Idle Hands Drinks Co with exclusive Fringe Collab Products.
