ZKB Jazzpreis Festival
THE ZKB JAZZPREIS FESTIVAL 2025 WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 21 TO 26 SEPTEMBER.
For over twenty years, Zürcher Kantonalbank has been supporting young, innovative Swiss bands with the ZKB Jazzpreis at Moods. Winning the prize not only brings financial support, but often also inclusion in the Pro Helvetia Foundation's priority jazz promotion programme, giving the band the opportunity to present their music on international stages.THE FESTIVAL
The festival is a six-day event full of music and talent. Six nominated bands are given the chance to present themselves to a jury of national and international experts and a broad audience. The bands not only have to impress with their musical quality, but also demonstrate their professionalism and show their development potential.COMPETITION
Of the six nominated bands, the two best will reach the final and compete for Switzerland's most lucrative jazz prize: 15,000 francs for the winner and 5,000 francs for the runners-up. The prize money is to be used for the music; for studio productions, CD and label costs, for instruments, advertising or gigs.APPLICATION
The application period for the ZKB Jazz Prize 2025 runs from 31 March to 15 May 2025. The bands selected for the ZKB Jazz Prize Festival 2025 will be notified at the beginning of June.
