Each year, Brighton Fringe offers a series of bursaries in collaboration with various local and national organisations and Brighton Fringe staff members. 

Covering a wide range of genres, Bursary winners receive a free registration to take part in Brighton Fringe and a variety additional support including money towards production fees, mentoring and marketing assistance.

Exact bursary packages are dependent on the sponsor. Bursaries work to ease the financial burden of producing events and help those take part in Brighton Fringe who may not be able to otherwise.

The Brighton Fringe Awards Ceremony takes place on the last day of the Fringe.  Awards are given in collaboration with various local and national organisations and the prize packages are dependent on the sponsors. Please check the criteria for each Award before applying (where necessary).

We'd love to include every event, but because judging needs to wrap up in time for the Awards Ceremony, we reserve the right to close judging early depending on the award. This means events scheduled towards the end of the Fringe may not be eligible for some awards due to timing.
