The Adelaide Fringe is giving artists, designers, students and amateurs alike the chance of a lifetime to design the 2011 Fringe poster.

For the first time, all design submissions will be made online and entrants are encouraged to incorporate a range of mediums such as animation, sculpture, photography, painting and computer-generated and digital imagery.

The Brief
We invite entrants to let their mind run free and create an iconic or ironic ‘King and Queen of the Fringe’. They could exist in a parallel Adelaide Fringe universe but must embody the creative spirit of the Adelaide Fringe. From cyber punk to manga, street art to pop, our very own Fringe Royalty exists in a fantastical world where only the strongest, boldest and most colourful will survive.

Only create a ‘King and Queen of the Fringe’ and do not include the ‘Adelaide Fringe 2011' text or dates.

The Winner's Perks
The winner will enjoy national and international exposure, their design promoting the largest arts event in the Southern Hemisphere. The image will feature on the front cover of the largest arts festival print run in Australia, the 2011 Adelaide Fringe Guide and to sweeten the deal the winner will also receive a $1,000 Flight Centre travel voucher.

When: The Adelaide Fringe 2011 Poster Competition is open from Saturday 24th July until Wednesday 8th September 2010.
