The winner in each category will receive a package of free placements for their 2024 Fringe posters around Edinburgh, courtesy of the city council's advertising partner, Out of Hand.
They say: "Out of Hand are proud to support these awards. Having witnessed so many different posters across the city, this is a great opportunity to see which ones have really made an impact with the public and stand out with great creative design."
