Can You Really Have An Award For "Spirit Of The Fringe"?
Fringe festivals don't work that way. "Isn't the spirit of the fringe to do art for art's sake, for no other reward than having created something beautiful or startling or ugly or interesting? The minute a finance company gives £4,000 and a Perspex award to someone, doesn't that destroy any Fringe spirit that they might have had, in any case?" New Statesman 08/28/08
