The Steve Strange Award celebrates creativity at the heart of The Great Escape.

Voted for by TGE delegates, the award recognises the artist who has performed at this year’s festival and made the strongest impression through their originality, vision and creative impact.

Named in memory of the late Steve Strange, a hugely respected live agent and champion of emerging talent, the award shines a spotlight on the artists shaping what’s next.

The winner of this prestigious award will be granted a cash prize of £5,000, to be announced after The Great Escape Festival.
