Who should win this year’s Rouse Ltd Audience Choice Award? You decide!
Over 200 artists have taken part in Ventnor Fringe this year, but only one can be crowned the audiences favourite! So if you’ve seen an act or show this year that you think deserves particular special mention this is your chance to show your support.


How does it help the artists?
Thanks to the kind support of Island based financial advisers Rouse Ltd the winner of the public vote gets their hands on a handcrafted trophy and a £500 cash prize to help support their work. The winner is also able to use the accolade to help promote ongoing tours of their work so it really does make a difference.
The award was launched in 2021 following conversations with Rouse LTD who were keen to support artists at the festival. CEO Ben Rouse explained “Home-grown events have the potential to become major attractions and if we get the opportunity to support a sound idea then we welcome that. The Island has long been known for its creativity and Rouse Ltd is keen to help nurture and develop that.”
