Sharpen your wits and join the Culture Quiz!
The Culture Quiz is a Q&A program where eight teams of established cultural celebrities must find the right answers to questions from all levels of culture to win the opportunity to give a young talent a head start in his or her career. With a combination of speed, technique and cultural knowledge, the teams try to battle their way to the top to win NOK 100,000 for their chosen protégé. Can the writer’s team beat the pop stars? Do classical musicians know more about opera than designers? And how far will the actors get?
The teams are put to the test in three rounds. The questions can be about everything from knitting fashions to ancient Greek comedies. And in the breakneck final round, speeding up both hands and minds is essential, because this is the ultimate showdown.
Being a young practitioner of any sort in culture is about hard work and a constant struggle for funds. In this format, the established artists and performers do the work for the talents.
By participating in The Culture Quiz, they can get the chance to provide an up-and-coming talent an invaluable financial kick-start, and thus contribute to his or her future career.
