Applications are now open for the Victoria Fringe 2023! This year, creatives can apply to one of three lottery options: the Main Lottery, the Unconventional Venue Lottery, and the Fringe Indigenous Artist Program Lottery.

The Unconventional Venue lottery is open to off-site venues, site-specific venues, walking/moving outdoor shows, digital shows, etc. While you are welcome to apply to both the traditional Fringe lottery and the Unconventional Venue lottery, you cannot participate as both a regular lottery participant and an Unconventional Venue lottery participant; if you are selected in both, you must choose one.
