- Interested artists are asked to submit 2-5 examples of previous work.
- Three artists will be chosen by jury and awarded $100 to submit a design for the 2024 Denver Fringe Festival poster.
- From those three, one poster design will be chosen to promote the Denver Fringe Festival as well as use of design/design elements on our website, programs, t-shirts and festival buttons. The artist of the winning poster design will receive an additional $200 plus two free passes to all Denver Fringe Festival shows.
BACKGROUND
The Denver Fringe Festival is part of a worldwide phenomenon that started with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 70 years ago when a group of maverick artists held their own festival on the “fringes” of the city. Now Fringe festivals take place each year in most major cities worldwide. A Fringe festival is characterized by bold, original, independent performance art — typically unjuried and uncensored.
ABOUT THE DENVER FRINGE
The Denver Fringe Festival is an open-application festival designed to support all genres of performance arts and to attract bold, progressive artistry that is on the fringes of the mainstream theatre tradition. We support independent artists by providing a variety of performance venues, promoting the festival and selling advance tickets online. We also support open access to the arts by making sure people can enjoy edgy, eclectic performance arts – original theatre, spoken word/storytelling, comedy, improv, cabaret, burlesque, dance, magic, puppetry, aerial, circus and immersive performance – at an affordable price.
MESSAGING
The poster does not have to include any specific imagery, but artists should keep in mind the values of the Denver Fringe Festival:
- creativity, originality, and self-expression
- bold, risky, experimental, independent performance
- eclectic, accessible and inclusive arts
HOW IT WORKS
Entry is free and open to everyone. Interested artists must submit five examples of past work by February 1. Three artists will be selected to submit their poster design by February 15. The winner will be announced by February 29. The final poster will be an 11” x 17” poster and must include the Denver Fringe Festival logo and the dates of the Denver Fringe Festival, June 6-9, 2024.
