2015 ADELAIDE FRINGE POSTER COMPETITION
Adelaide Fringe is calling on artists and graphic designers around Australia and beyond to submit designs for
the 2015 Poster Competition.
The theme for this year’s Poster Competition is ‘Experience Something New’. Audiences at next year’s
Fringe will be encouraged to discover unknown talent and go and experience something new and different.
We are looking for an original poster design that is surreal, illogical, absurd or an expression of absolute
nonsense.
The winning design will be incorporated into the official branding and marketing material for the 2015
Adelaide Fringe, exposing the lucky winner’s poster to an audience of over 1.9 million.
The winner will also receive a $2,000 cash prize and complimentary registration for the 2015 Adelaide Fringe
if they would like to stage an exhibition of their work.
Design Brief
All design submissions must be made online at www.adelaidefringe.com.au.
The poster design must in some way interpret the theme of the 2015 Adelaide Fringe – Experience
Something New.
The design may be in any medium and in any art form such as digital, illustration, painting, sculpture or
photography, however the final entry must be two dimensional.
Please keep in mind that the final design will form the basis of the 2015 Adelaide Fringe marketing material
and must be suitable for reproduction. The winning poster design will be used across the city in various
forms from very large street posters and vinyl banners to very small logos and advertisements.
Entries must be received by 5pm, Friday 5 September and must be accompanied by an official Fringe
poster entry form that can be downloaded at www.adelaidefringe.com.au.
Eligibility
There is no entry fee and as is the open access nature of the Adelaide Fringe, anyone is invited to submit an
entry into this competition, whether you live in Australia or overseas.
Judging
Entries will be judged by the Adelaide Fringe Director, Creative Producer and the Head of Marketing &
Business Development.
The winner will be notified by 26 September, 2014. The winning entry will be featured at a media poster
launch in October 2014 that the winning artist will be invited to attend.
Entry Specifications
Your original design may incorporate a range of materials and mediums , but your final entry must still be a
two-dimensional representation of these ideas.
Entries must be received by 5pm, Friday 5 September 2014 with a completed entry form.

The poster must be suitable for reproduction in a number of ways from the very large scale (eg, street

The winning design will need to demonstrate flexibility so that it can be used in full or in part, in a variety of
creative applications, for example; t-shirts; the Adelaide Fringe website; and on a range of printed material,
