The Fringey Awards Judging Process

The top three Fringey videos will be tallied by a combination of online votes from the general public and votes from a panel of three local judges, who include Scott Mayer, founder of the Twin Cities Theater "Ivey Awards" and organizer of the recent "One Man Minneapolis" contest; Ben McGovern, associate director of studio programming for the Guthrie Theater and Edie French, a 20-year media producer who is the president and CEO of LOCATION IMAGES/iDream.tv. Scott, Ben and Edie will cast their votes based on each video's content, creativity, execution, and impact.

We take any conflicts of interest seriously, and will do everything in our power to minimize occurrences of conflicts to ensure that the best Fringey videos are recognized for their excellence, without fear or favor.
