In 2023, Adelaide Fringe announced the brand new Sarah Rohrsheim Adelaide Fringe Fellowship Award. Celebrating Fringe on a global scale, this award is given to an artist to assist in the cost of presenting their work in territories of their choice over the following year. Sarah Rohrsheim is a member of the Adelaide Fringe Foundation Board and our Donor Circle, and has generously given $25,000 per year over three years to this award category - on behalf of the artists, we are incredibly grateful. Last year's winner, 'Charlie Caper & Malin Nilsson: More Minor Miracles' is back with another show this season.
