Right in the middle of the magical Visfestival week in Västervik, anyone interested in developing their songwriting skills can take part in a two-day songwriting camp. The camp is designed for those who want to improve their writing and work in a group. No prior experience is required. To participate, you must register in advance.

We’d love to see a mix of local and visiting songwriters with diverse backgrounds and experiences, so that you, as a participant, can get the most out of the camp and broaden your horizons. Unleash your creativity and be inspired by the archipelago, the music of Västervik, and fellow musicians. You’ll have the opportunity to meet more experienced artists as well as mentors and experts from organizations such as Talentcoach. If you’d like to get on stage and perform, there’s also an opportunity to do so through the collaboration during Visfestival week. 

WHEN: July 8-9, 2026
WHERE: Mejeriet, Västervik
HOW: Group workshops, studio sessions, inspiration etc.
The Singer&Songwriter Camp is free for those who are accepted but a no-show fee (700SEK) will be charged if you do not show up or cancel later than one week in advance.

We welcome your application with a work sample, CV or similar. Selection will be made on an ongoing basis but the last day to submit your contribution is June 30th to Thomas TK Karlsson at the email below. 

This event is a collaboration between Make Music Matter!, Visfestivalen Västervik, Västervik Framåt, Musik Föreningen I Västervik, Västervik kommun, STIM & Talentcoach.
