This year were introducing Fringe Free Venues , to make theatre more accessible for cash stripped theatre companies.

We will get back to you within a week, to discuss which slots are available at the Fringe Free Venues , based on your preferences. We ll offer you a provisional 90 minute slot (This includes Get in, Get Out). Once you ve paid your registration fee the slot will be confirmed. This process will be done on a first come first served basis, and will be consistent with a open-access policy.
You may decide you wish to Find your own Venue This can include venues on our website that are not Free Fringe Venues or even venues that are not on our website.
If you book your own venue, youll need to book the venue prior to registering. Once you have picked your venue, contact them using the contact details provided.by us on the website Venues will operate a range of different program-ming policies. Some will work on a first come firstserve basis and allow you to book a slot straight away, while others may operate a programming policy and require more details prior to making a decision on whether to programme you. Venues work on different criterias and quality control. If your first choice venue need time before deciding whether to programme you, you may wish to enquire about other venues as a back-up.
This is fine, but please treat all venues respectfully and with honesty, once you've accepted a slot, please stick by that slot. We d advise you to approaching different venues if you re not accepted by your first venue. Prior to booking ensure you have all the information you require from the venue, for example their technical equipment, are you required to use their technician, or are they happy for you to bring your own. We d always advise requesting to see the venue if your unfamiliar.
If your using a Free Fringe Venue you will register straight away. If you are Choosing your own Venue then once you ve found and booked your venue, you need to complete the registration form.

A picture that should be sent with your registration. This will be included on the website and programme and will help to market your show. If you do not have a photo of your act at the time of registering, you may send it separately, but must be submitted prior to the deadline if it s to be included in the brochure Once you've applied, we will then contact you about paying your registration fee, to confirm your slot at the festival.
Throughout the process, keep an eye out for our events. These include our 24 hour play festival, launch party and award s evening. We ll keep you posted through our website and mailing list. Some events are meant to be fun, while other are aimed to help with your registration and production.

Prepare your marketing material. Once you have registered we'll send you a performers pack, with recommended places for distributing posters and flyers etc, the best press contacts etc. Read through this and attempt to do as much marketing as you can. Fringe festival audiences can vary hugely, last years everagewas approx 18 (the rumour use to be that the average at Edinburgh was 4), however those acts that market their shows the most, tend to get the best audiences.
