Be a 2026 Festival artist
The 2026 Call for Artists is now closed.
Thank you to all the artists and companies who submitted proposals. We are grateful for the time, care, and creativity shared through this year’s applications.
What Happens Next
All submissions are currently under review in collaboration with BorderLight Festival staff and a group of theatre professionals with a range of perspectives and experience.
Applicants can expect to hear from our team in the next upcoming weeks once the selection process is complete. Productions not selected during the initial review may be placed on a waitlist in the event of a cancellation.
Questions?
The Fringe Application Handbook is the most helpful tool for immediate answers.
If you still have questions, please email fringe@borderlightcle.org.
Due to the limited number of venues and schedule slots, the BorderLight Fringe program is determined through a selection process. Your application does not guarantee acceptance at the festival. All proposals are reviewed by a diverse panel of industry professionals and theatre practitioners, in collaboration with BorderLight Festival staff. Productions that are not chosen during the initial selection may be placed on a waitlist in the event of a cancellation.
We look forward to your submissions!
