The awards run from Thursday 22 September to Saturday 24 September.
The Kinsale Shark Awards focus is “unconditional creativity”, and covers writing, humour, artiste’s performance and “post production colourists”, plus craft sections, and music & sound categories.
A total of 40 judges – from Australia, Austria, China, France, India, Italy, New Zealand, the Netherlands, UK and USA – will sit across nine juries. All will arrive in Kinsale on festival week to judge the entries.
