One Week to Register!

Artists have only one week to register for the 2012 Dunedin Fringe Festival. The deadline is Friday 18 November. Early registrations are already being made via the online registration form which is very encouraging.

We expect at least 40 events to register which will make one action packed Festival! Intending artists need to get all their event details, description and image sorted before trying to register. If you’re having trouble finalising aspects of your event get in touch with Festival staff so we can help.

Flood of artist grant applications
We are wrapped to have received 32 grant applications and a further 17 venue applications by the 22 October deadline. Artists from Dunedin and throughout New Zealand have presented some fantastic ideas with applications totalling $70,000. We had only $22,500 worth of grants to give out so the funding panel focused on the most innovative and experimental works most likely to appeal to Fringe audiences.

The decisions have now been made and we are now waiting for the funded artists to confirm, then we'll post the full list of funded works. Thanks Creative New Zealand for your support!
