And the nominees are...

Rumour has it some of these talented Fringe artists will take home a trophy on Sunday night. We know FOMO sucks, so if you don’t wanna miss your chance to catch these soon-to-be-award-winning shows, you better get moving – there are only two days left in the Festival!

The 2021 Melbourne Fringe Festival awards focus on three awards, hand-picked by our esteemed judging panel: Best Work in Festival, Spirit of the Fringe and Best Work by an Emerging Artist. Head to our awards page for more information about our awards program and judging criteria (once you’ve finished binge-watching these noms, of course).
