Fest

the festival; and five festival issues packed full of reviews and features which hits the streets every Tuesday and Friday during the Fringe. We print 115,000 magazines over the summer, which means you can find Fest pretty much anywhere in Edinburgh. Fest has built up a formidable journalistic reputation at the Festival and for the past three years Fest writers have taken home either one or both of the prestigious Allen Wright Awards for Arts Journalism. This year our writing team is stronger than ever. We've worked hard to recruit some of the most exciting and well-regarded arts journalists in the country, including Julian Hall, Edd McCracken, Matt Trueman, Yasmin Sulaiman, Jay Richardson, Peter Geoghegan and Malcolm Jack. We have assembled a number of successful partnerships at the Fringe, including a long-standing association with Amnesty International. Together we produce the much-loved comics vs. critics football match - a gruelling showdown of epic proportions - as well as jointly supporting the Freedom of Expression Award. This year we are also proud to announce partnerships with Big-4 venus Assembly and Underbelly and Ideas Tap, an arts funding charity that helps young artists at the start of their careers.
