2027 Poster Competition!

2027 Poster Competition

The 2027 Poster Competition has now closed. Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry!

The winning artist will be announced in late October.

Our 2027 poster theme is “Fringe for everyBODY”

Fringe is a festival without barriers, where everyone can participate, create, connect and belong.

This year we’re inviting artists to celebrate the people who make Fringe what it is.

Artists stepping onto the stage.

The people, families and friends, sharing a laugh or discovering their new favourite show.

The venues, producers, helping artists bring shows to life.

The communities that support and shape Fringe.

And everyBODY who comes together to create the unique magic of Fringe.

Poster Competition closed Sunday 30 August at 11:59pm ACST.

The Poster Competition is a distinguished tradition that has, since 1974, launched emerging talent and celebrated bold artistic expression. As iconic as the festival itself, each year the winning poster encapsulates the love and pride that people have for Fringe.

The winning poster will be featured as part of Adelaide Fringe 2027, with the artist receiving a $10,000 cash prize thanks to Adelaide University plus free artist registration to present their own exhibition as part of the 2027 Adelaide Fringe.

Previous winners include visual artist Billie Justice Thompson, John Pedder, Rebecca Davis, digital illustrator Alana Naylor, painter Mali Isabel, and many more.
