10 Glorious Festivals in 7 countries across the Baltic Nordic region!
OUR 2026 GLOBAL ARTIST CALL IS OPEN 18TH OF NOV – 31ST OF DEC 2025
The Baltic Nordic Fringe Network (BNFN) global artist call is open to all artists from all regions and across all genres and art forms.
You can apply to take part in Gothenburg Fringe as part of the Baltic Nordic Fringe Network (BNFN) artist call on Eventotron.
Applications for Gothenburg Fringe 2026 come with a 30 euro fee. There is no additional fee to participate in the festival. Selected artists will receive a venue and basic tech support free of charge and will receive 100% of box office income.
A typical BNFN festival program is as eclectic as the rich flora and fauna of talent and ideas that you all harbour! Most BNFN festivals feature an extensive off-stage activity program, including artist speed-dating, seminars, workshops, and a Fringe Awards segment, making your visit to one or several of our festivals more than just an opportunity to meet new audiences!
The following BNFN festivals are participating in the joint 2026 artist call:
Finfringe (FINLAND) 10th – 16th MAY 2026
CPH Stage (DENMARK) May 28–June 6 (Opening Night: May 27) 2026

About
The Baltic Nordic Fringe Network (BNFN) aims to simplify systems and provide touring opportunities for artists applying to one or more of the Fringe festivals in the Baltic Nordic region. Any given year, the touring circuit features approximately half of the network festivals, with the rest of the member organisations either doing their own artist calls and/or running every 2nd year—a few of the festivals are dormant and in hiatus mode.
BNFN is the only touring Fringe network in the Baltic-Nordic region and part of the
World Fringe Network (WFN) with over 300 Fringe festivals across the globe.
