BACKGROUND
The Denver Fringe Festival is part of a worldwide movement that exists in 250+ cities worldwide. A Fringe festival is characterized by bold, original, independent performing arts — typically unjuried and uncensored.
ABOUT THE DENVER FRINGE
The Denver Fringe Festival is an innovative, open-access, annual performing arts festival that supports independent artists. Part of a worldwide movement of Fringe festivals, we attract a diverse range of artistic voices and promote access to the arts. We believe that the arts contribute to vibrant, resilient, inclusive communities. Our guiding principle is "arts for all.”
The sixth annual Denver Fringe Festival will take place June 4-8, 2025 at performance venues throughout the Five Points/RiNo area and beyond with dozens of original productions including original plays, musicals, solo performance, comedy, improv, dance, aerial and circus arts, and immersive theatrical experiences.
MESSAGING
It's wide open - unleash your ideas! The poster does not have to include any specific imagery, but represent the values of the Denver Fringe Festival:
- creativity, originality, and self-expression
- bold, risky, experimental performance art
- diversity, accessibility and inclusivity
Please keep in mind a design that can be applied to both print (posters, programs, t-shirts, buttons) as well as digital branding on our website and elsewhere. A bonus would be an element or elements that could work well on merch ;)
HOW IT WORKS
Entry is free and open to everyone. Interested artists must submit 3-5 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 28. 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 4-8,2024.
