2021 Anywhere Awards Announced!

Anywhere Awards 

The objective of the 2021 Anywhere Awards was to take them up another level from a purely audience vote awards (created four years ago) to ones connecting emerging performance makers with established organisations providing mentorship, support, rehearsal space and much more.

In 2021 we were joined by many amazing partners who offered mentorship, space, creative development and much more beyond the accolade.
