Grants will be awarded to selected entrants as an incentive for game designers to demonstrate their inventiveness in creating new visual worlds and using these as a setting for bringing interactive stories to life. Following the success of the inaugural «Call for Projects: Swiss Games» in 2010, a new call for projects has been launched for 2012/2013. Opening (communiqué) More Communique Reglement

What is « mood » music? Mood music (also known as library, production, archive or stock music) comes from catalogues published for setting all sorts of audio and audiovisual productions, especially films, to music. These catalogues are published in the form of records (or websites) which are not commercially available. SUISA as a « one-stop shop » The advantage, in the case of mood music published by providers who have concluded a specific contract with SUISA (see below the « List of mood music providers »), is that the user does not have to apply for additional licences from each right-holder (authors, publishers and labels) but can apply directly and solely to SUISA. SUISA acts as a «one-stop shop» granting users all the necessary authorisations quickly and at set rates (for more information, please see below the « notice mood music »).

Anybody who organises concerts or publishes, reproduces, performs, broadcasts or otherwise disseminates music is automatically a client of SUISA’s. Even the owner of an aerobic studio who plays music during lessons is a client. Anybody using music publicly needs a licence and is therefore a client of SUISA’s. If you use music in private, i.e. within a small circle of family and friends, you do not need a licence. All other uses are considered public uses and require a licence from SUISA....
