“Lights! Camera! Switzerland.” is an unmatched opportunity to jump-start a career as a TV travel star, and earn U$10,000 for hosting the show. The deadline for the application was March 9.

More than 3000 people from the U.S. and Canada applied for this chance to host a TV travel show in Switzerland. “We were impressed by all the creativity and passion applicants put into their videos”, says Alex Herrmann, Director Americas, Switzerland Tourism. An expert panel selected ten finalists (nine from the U.S., one from Canada) – based on creativity, originality and above all, on-camera presence.

Now it’s the public’s turn: everyone is invited to vote at www.LightsCameraSwitzerland.com until May 5th. Visitors to the site have an opportunity to see the short videos submitted by each finalist and to vote for their favorite. The candidate who receives the most votes wins the competition. Voters can enter for the chance to win their own “Grand Tour of Switzerland” trip for two, provided by Swiss International Air Lines and the tour operator Cosmos, which is part of the Globus family of brands.

In June, the winner and a TV production team embark on a 10-day journey to shoot some highlights along the “Grand Tour of Switzerland” including Bern, Lucerne, St. Moritz, and the most scenic trains of the Swiss Travel System.
