On Sunday evening, we celebrated the end of Gothenburg Fringe 2022 with the awards party.
Artists, volunteers and some of our biggest Fringe fans gathered in Oceanen to enjoy each other's company one last time at the end of a wonderful week and honour some of the many outstanding performances throughout the week.
Alongside a series of themed awards, there was the traditional Nordic Fringe Network Award, which grants the winner automatic acceptance to perform at NFN festivals in 2023 and a new award, titled the GEST Best in Fest.
Supported and chosen by new partners Gothenburg English Studio Theatre, the winning production will receive an invitation to perform a guest run at the theatre in 2023.
