open call 2025

Dear artist, 

It’s great that you want to sign up for the open call of Amsterdam Fringe Festival 2025! Before you start, we would like to share something with you.

  • Amsterdam Fringe Festival (AFF) doesn’t work like other festivals. We offer an assurance, but not a high fee or travel allowance etc.  We do invest a lot of time in guiding and coaching the fringe artists.
  • Besides personal guidance, we organise workshops for all the fringe artists. We help you to develop yourself professionally.
  • Joining AFF = learning a lot, networking and enjoying being part of the festival!
  • Last year we’ve had over 400 applications. Sad but true: we can just program 55 of them. 
Just to be sure you really know what it means to join our festival, it’s important to read our ‘rules of the game’.
