Is my show eligible for a Festival Fringe Theatre Award?

To be eligible for an award you need to have at least two 4-star published reviews from accredited sites (see below). If a review site is not listed, please submit your application and we will consider adding them to our list.

Bronze award: two 4 star reviews from accredited review sites

Silver award: one 4 star and one 5 star review from accredited review sites

Gold award: two 5 star reviews from accredited review sites

After your festival performance, please submit the reviews to apply to be the proud recipient of one of our awards. If you have received an award from the FTA you may then, if you wish, purchase medallions to help with in-person marketing of your production.

Please note we do not include comedy and only current shows are eligible, and we cannot accept reviews from previous production runs.
