CATEGORIES & NOMINEES 2022

A nomination or an award in a SWISS LIVE TALENTS category, is more than just an award, as it brings many opportunities to perform in the most important clubs and festivals, both in Switzerland and abroad.

For this purpose, a panel of club- and festival- programmers from all over Switzerland has selected five nominees per category. The nominated artists will be invited to perform on stage as part of the  “SWISS LIVE TALENTS – Music Marathon”, a unique event that will take place in Fribourg on November 18 and 19, 2022 and a great opportunity to be seen, heard and discovered by an international jury.
