The Adelaide Fringe Poster Competition is as iconic as the festival itself! The Top 40 finalists for the upcoming 2025 season have just been announced and you can check them out below.

Each year the festival is on the hunt for the poster that encapsulates the love and pride that people have for Fringe, with over 300 entries for this year’s competition.

The winning poster will become the symbol of Adelaide Fringe 2025, with the artist receiving a $10,000 cash prize thanks to Lumo Energy plus free artist registration to present their very own exhibition as part of the 2025 Adelaide Fringe.

The Adelaide Fringe will return next year from 21 February – 23 March 2025 to celebrate Australia’s largest arts festival over FOUR weeks across 500+ venues all over South Australia!

Previous winners include visual artist Rebecca Davis, digital illustrator Alana Naylor, painter Mali Isabel, and many more.

Congratulations to all Top 40 finalists!
