We are thrilled to unveil the Top 50 finalists for the 2026 Adelaide Fringe Poster Competition! This year's competition broke records with over 400 entries from artists around the world.
Inspired by the theme 'Simple Pleasures', we were blown away by the creativity and talent—from collages and hand-drawn illustrations to digital art, textiles, and even animation. Our judges, a panel of past poster winners, Ramsay Art Prize winner, Archibald Prize finalist, and local creative industry experts had the tough task of narrowing it down to just 50.
A huge to Lumo Energy for supporting the competition and providing a $10,000 cash prize to the winning artwork.
Check out the top 50 posters below!
