Everything is wrapping up at Fringe central as we farewell the 2010 Sydney Fringe and get cracking on next year’s festivities.

The first year of the Fringe saw 260+ events, with our festival judges getting out to as many as possible in order to give out the inaugural Sydney Fringe Awards. We congratulate all of our winners, knowing that these are only a small percentage of the enormous number of events that astounded, surprised and delighted us.

Our awards night on Wednesday was a huge success with friends, artists, dim lighting and free wine making it a night to remember! Have a look below at our list of winners.

See you on the Fringe … next year!
