The Fringe Fresh Awards

In 2016 they introduced the FRESH Awards to recognize outstanding creativity and stand-out performances at the Cape Town Fringe.

According to the website[1] the awards are made by a panel of industry experts drawn from across the arts and cultural spectrum and the awards are made across five categories:

•FRESH Music Award: outstanding musician, band or music ensemble

•FRESH Performer Award: stand-out performance by an artist in any genre

•FRESH Creative Award: outstanding arts practitioner making or realising work in any genre (producer, writer, composer, designer, choreographer, etc.)

•FRESH Audience Award: as voted for by the audience. If you buy a ticket to any show at the Cape Town Fringe, you’ll be invited to rate and review it on the CTFringe app after the performance. These ratings will help decide the winner.

•FRESH Fabulous Award: an artist or arts organisation working in any genre whose work embodies the spirit of Cape Town
