Fringe World Awards FRINGE WORLD Awards are given to the best show in each genre category. A judging panel made up of over forty individuals from across the cultural industries in Perth see all the works in the festival. They then have the tough time of deciding which are worthy of receiving prizes. Award winners get cash, development support and direct touring opportunities as part of their award. The Department of Culture and the Arts also supports award winners through its Artsflight program. We’ll be announcing the weekly Award finalists via the FRINGE WORLD Facebook Page and e-news. Don’t just take the judges word for it, check out the finalists before their FRINGE season ends. MARTIN SIMS AWARD FOR BEST WA PRODUCTION
