Tips for creating your poster

  • The winning poster will need to demonstrate flexibility in a number of different ways. This includes being reproduced in different sizes as well in monochrome (black and white). The design must have the versatility to be used in a number of creative applications, including t-shirts, posters, program booklets, banner signage and FringeTIX box offices.
  • If you use any images you haven’t created yourself you must own the copyright for the images or have permission to use them in your design.
  • Remember to treat the poster brief as guidelines only. Thinking outside the box is relished and encouraged!


The 2022 Adelaide Fringe Festival will be held from 18 February to 20 March.

Entries close Sunday 8 August at 11:59pm.
