Promoters + Media

Each year Made in Scotland invites a delegation of international presenters to come to Edinburgh in August to watch showcase performances, meet with artists and participate in conversations and social events. The dates for the delegation and related networking events take place during the second week of the festival.

Thanks to the Scottish Government’s International Expo Fund, we are able to offer financial support for a limited number of delegates, in addition to tickets to all the shows presenting as part of the showcase.

Onward Touring Fund

Made in Scotland has a fund attached to the showcase to facilitate onward touring after the Fringe. All Scotland-based professional pieces of dance, theatre, and music presented at the festival, including the productions presented in the Made in Scotland showcase, are eligible to apply to the fund for a financial contribution towards taking up international invitations that are generated as a direct result of their performances at the Fringe.

The total amount of the annual fund is in region of £100,000 and each application can be for up to £15,000. Applications are made by the artists / companies and are expected to demonstrate significant financial commitment from the international promoter for the engagement.

The Made in Scotland Onward Touring Fund opens in September (exact date to be announced) and has no deadline – applications are considered on an ongoing basis until the annual budget is allocated.

Eligible productions are professional pieces that performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe between the years 2015 to 2026. If you have any questions about the Onward Touring Fund, please contact the team at madeinscotland@edfringe.com.
