Welcome to "The Spookies", a new awards initiative running for its second year at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival to recognise excellence within the horror genre.
As horror continues to gain popularity in the live entertainment industry, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate outstanding performances at the Festival.
To submit a nomination for a show to be reviewed for an award (including your own), please fill out the nomination form. Nominations are not a vote, they are to bring a show to our attention, so you only need to nominate a show once. Thank you
For members of the press or industry who are interested in attending the awards ceremony, please reach out to us via email at participants@edinburghhorrorfestival.co.uk.
All shows that are part of the horror genre are eligible for the Spookies, a new award hosted by the Edinburgh Horror Festival. We are asking shows to fill out this form only because we know that more shows can be classified as horror than are in the horror genre section on the Fringe Society's website. All shows are welcome to self-nominate, the show does not have to be in the big Fringe programme, we welcome shows performing at the PBH Free Fringe and Laughing Horse Free Festival, as well as others.
