Certified copywriters wanted

 Currently, 19 copywriters in Switzerland hold the title "Texter BR" or "Texter BR". But there could soon be more: As every year, copywriters can apply for entry in the Swiss professional register. The current 2008 certification round is now open. Applications must be submitted by April 1. An independent jury of experts will decide on inclusion in the Swiss Professional Register of Copywriters (BRTT) based on the work submitted. Three texts from different areas that are as independent of each other as possible, for example a press release, a poster and a brochure, will be assessed according to strict guidelines. A commentary explaining the task and the procedure must also be submitted for each work, as detailed in a press release.
Both freelance copywriters and copywriters employed by companies and agencies are eligible for certification. The certification results will be announced at the end of May.
