The largest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere, the Adelaide Fringe Festival, will be held from 18 February to 20 March 2022, and the search is on for its next iconic poster design to become the face of the festival.

The global competition is proudly supported by Principal Partner BankSA and the winner will receive $3000 in prize money, free registration for an exhibition at the Adelaide Fringe and the enormous exposure of becoming the symbol of Fringe 2022.
Are you the type of artist that can encapsulate the many unique and rewarding experiences Adelaide Fringe has to offer, on a scale like no other festival in Australia? Your design should showcase why the Adelaide Fringe is the number one place to be in February and March.
