Launched in 2010, The Offies were the first awards show created specifically for independent theatre in the UK, and 15 years on, we still set the standard as the foremost awards for theatre beyond the West End.

With over 500 productions per year being considered each year, being nominated is an incredible honour and winning an Offie is among the fiercest competition in any awards anywhere in the world.

There are a host of reasons to enter your show for consideration, but we’ve highlighted just a few for you here:

Increased Viewership

An Offies nomination doesn’t just recognise excellence—it drives attention. Nominated productions see measurable spikes in Google searches, and throughout awards season our reach extends to as many as 5 million people online, with millions more impressions.

OffWestEnd venues benefit too: historically, recognised productions have generated close to £1 million in additional ticket sales each year.

Our channels put shows in front of the right audiences, with a collective social following of over 40,000 theatregoers. On Instagram alone, Assessors’ Choice posts average 10,000+ views.

If you want concentrated, engaged theatre-lovers’ attention, the Offies remain one of the most effective ways to get it.
