AURAL RATINGS

In 2021, Sydney Fringe introduced ‘Aural Ratings’ to help identify the percentage of Aural/Auditory content in your work. You can nominate your Aural rating when filling out your show details in Eventotron. Good news: the Customer Booking Fee should be passed on to the customer and not incurred by you.

Aural Rating 100% – The event is entirely sound-based with no visual component (e.g. a sound art installation or a show performed in complete darkness)

Aural Rating 75% – The event is primarily sound-based, with visuals only incidental to the work.

Aural rating 50% – The event has both sound and visual components, but sight isn’t essential to engage properly with the work

Not Applicable – intrinsically, these events are not accessible for blind or low vision audiences
