The London Awards for Art and Performance

Presented at the London Festival Fringe in August 2010

London is the major Art Capital of the world and these awards are a long time coming. They are an important initiative for art and performance in the city and are intended to acknowledge that London has the best artists and performers anywhere.

The Awards will be presented towards the end of the London Festival Fringe in August.

There are currently 8 competitions scheduled to take place, each resulting in an award that recognise artists at the forefront of their art.

They are:

London Art Award
London Jazz Awards - Best Vocalist, Best Instrumentalist
London New Comedy Award
London New Music Award
London Photography Award
London Short Fiction Award
London Theatre Writing Award
London 48 Hour Short Film Award

The London Jazz Awards are to be hosted at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho, a leading jazz venue. More venues to be announced.

The London Festival Fringe 2010 is ground breaking and exciting. It is being held in August as an alternative to the Edinburgh Fringe. It allows artists and promoters living and working in London to put on shows and events to audiences on their doorstep, at a price they can afford without earnings being eaten up by travel and accommodation costs.

An example of the quality and enthusiasm of artists and performers for the London Festival Fringe can be seen in the entries in the recent Valentine Weekend Short Film Competition showing on the front page of the website.
