Last but not least: Ripe for the Bacardi Island?
For the third time, young Swiss creatives can apply for «The Island Job.» This somewhat unconventional «Music Star» casting call is a talent development program organized by Bacardi.
The project promotes up-and-coming talent in music, photography, journalism, styling, video and production. Participants compete for votes from the online community by submitting a letter of application and a music, video or photo entry. Those who make it into the top three in their category in the online voting (the top six in the "video maker" category) will be able to demonstrate their talent to a jury at a three-day workshop in October. The jury is made up of people from all specialist areas: These include Roman Camenzind (producer of Bligg, Baschi, Adrian Stern), Birgit Kraner (styling for Friday, Vogue Germany), Benoit Rossel (professor at ECAL Lausanne, videos for U2) and Adrian Bretscher (photo shoots for Stress, Baschi, Bligg).
The participants who convince the jury will fly to the Caribbean island of Cayo Levantado for eight days in January 2012. The winning team will produce a song with everything on "Bacardi Island". The registration period runs until August 26.
