As the Swiss winter sets in deeply, we look inward to find inspiration. Aligned with Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan 18), our first contest night of the year is dedicated to the power of rhetoric, repetition, and visionary messages. "The Dream" challenges our contestants to deliver deeply moving, inspirational speeches that cut through the winter gloom. Join us to support our speakers as they compete to represent Zuriberg in the International Speech Contest!
