Made in Scotland is a curated showcase that promotes high quality music, theatre and dance from Scotland-based artists to international promoters and audiences at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Applications are now open for the Made in Scotland Showcase 2025!
Made in Scotland is a partnership between the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, Creative Scotland, the Federation of Scottish Theatre (FST) and the Scottish Music Centre (SMC). It is supported by the Scottish Government’s Festivals Expo Fund – awarded to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society for this programme.
The focus of Made in Scotland is presenting theatre, dance and music performance that has strong international appeal. The showcase is selected with the aim to best represent the rich and diverse work being created by Scotland’s artists.
What is the overall budget and how much can I apply for?
Three levels of funding are available to help support the presentation at the Fringe of new or existing artistically ambitious work with strong international onward potential as part of the Made in Scotland showcase.
All applicants should focus on their international ambitions for the show being presented. The fund is not intended to fully fund a run at the Fringe. The total budget available for the Made in Scotland 2025 programme will be in the region of £300,000. For 2025, three fixed levels of funding have been introduced that applicants can apply for. These funding levels are:
• £5,000
• £15,000
• £25,000
Who can apply?
Applications can come from individual artists, companies, organisations, promoters, record labels and venues. All applicants must be based in Scotland. Student and non-professional companies are not eligible to apply.
This programme is focused on raising the international profile of talent based in Scotland and therefore export potential is the key selection criterion. Applicants should therefore describe how they intend to share their work internationally and its suitability for an international marketplace.
Due to delegation engagement, it is recommended that any show planning a shorter run includes at least two performances during Aug 11 – 17th.
The deadline for this application is October 21, 12:00 BST.
