On the final day of the festival, our judges get together to discuss all the awesome events they saw and battle it out amongst themselves to choose those who will be announced at the New Zealand Fringe Awards on Sunday night following the festival.
But it’s not really about that at all, is it? Awards schmawards.
The best part of NZ Fringe and this final shindig is the chance for us to get together and celebrate all the mahi you’ve been putting in this whole time. You made art! And gosh that’s a cool thing! So, put on your fanciest, funkiest, Fringiest GladRags, and whoop it up with NZ Fringe!
How Do I Get A Judge To See My Show?
