Describe your show *
Go into detail - let us know what kind of thing we're going to be programming.
Your answer
Tell us why it will be good *
Include press and references, if relevant, especially if we don't know you. Write as one professional to another: we don't want a sales pitch. Footage links go in a later question.
Your answer
Audience tech requirements
Do audience members need any specific technology, equipment, software or requirements for your show? Ie a Zoom account, a computer, an app they need to download, VR headsets, etc…
Link(s) to footage *
This is especially important if we don't know you. If there's something you particularly want us to see as we consider your application, put the links to it here. The link to your show goes into a different box if you already have it (but it’s not necessary at this point!). Make it relevant - if your show/ performance style is highly visual, we need visual footage. If it's going to be a podcast, we need decent quality audio, etc. Can be any footage of you performing if you don’t have any of your show.
Your answer
Age range for which the show is suitable *
Required
What safeguarding methods will you be using?
This is necessary to specify if your show is for people under 18 years of age, vulnerable, or if you are using an interactive video medium such as Zoom. We want to ensure that the audience - and you - have a good time.
Your answer
What other skills can you offer the Free Fringe?
Have you played the Free Fringe in Edinburgh (PBH's Free Fringe) before?

Your answer
What dates?
If your show is playing at a specific time on a specific date, please specify clearly all dates and times below: Please include every time and date - it’s laborious we know, but it helps us make sure we don’t miss a listing!
At approximately what time would you prefer your show to start? *
Please tell us in "Edinburgh time" ie British Summertime and in a 24 hour format, eg 3pm will be 15:00
Time
:
AM
PM
How flexible could you be with this? *
We understand that being online shows will be able to broadcast simultaneously, but 5 magic shows all starting at the same time won't be good for your audience
Is your show available on demand?
Clear selection
Do you have any accessibility requirements?
Your answer
Do you have a link to your show already?
If so, whack it in - easy! If not - if you’re still creating your show - don’t worry, we will be asking for this closer to the time.
