What are the Swiss Live Talents… ?

  • It’s a contest that takes place evey two years in Bern, at the Bierhübeli venue. The first edition took place in November 2013.
  • A national springboard whose aim is to help Swiss artists that play live.
  • Everyone gets visibility (compilations, hoodies, …).
  • The winners of the categories not only receive money, but also some support during the two years that follow the award ceremony and get the chance to play in Switzerland as well as abroad (France, UK, USA, Serbia… !).
  • A concrete example? Rootwords, Best Urban Act 2013, recently performed during a whole week in New York!

OPTIMIZE YOUR VISUALS

If you want your visuals to be as impressive as possible on your page as well as in the slide shows: THE BEST is a 3:2 horizontal picture* whose transformation into a square format (for your automatically generated avatar pic) works as well. See the picture below for an explanation. This way, you’ll look perfect on the new platform ;) Thank you Natasha Waters &  Kaltehand, it’s great!
