The Binge Fringe: Black Performers Award is an initiative launched by Binge Fringe's Lamesha Ruddock in collaboration with Blemme Fatale Productions to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black performers at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The awards are determined based on Binge Fringe reviews of eligible shows led by Black-identifying performers, with star ratings not being a criterion. A shortlist is judged by an independent panel composed of leading Black journalists and theatre directors, and multiple awards are presented at a ceremony.
