Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award is a prize given annually at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The Award has been presented since 2004 with The Scotsman’s Final Fringe First Award ceremony.

In a formal agreement with the Fringe Society, the prize will be given in perpetuity through The Carol Tambor Theatrical Foundation. (See web site)

The prize is a two to four week run at an Off-Off-Broadway Theater in New York. The prize consists of: all visa expenses, transportation for cast, crew and props, hotel for cast and crew; per diems; guaranteed stipend; box office receipts.

All productions given a four or five star review in The Scotsman and are new to New York, are eligible for the prize.

The run in New York coincides with the APAP convention of producers each January for additional exposure and opportunity for transfers to other theaters.

The Foundation takes no commercial interest in the future of the production, as reported in The New York Times.
