Vivendi is launching the first edition of the Vivendi Talent Show, an event aimed at selecting and showcasing the artistic and creative talents of the Group's employees. 120 high-quality and diverse entries, both solo and group, were received in seven categories: live performance, writing, music, film, photography, digital content, and visual and digital arts.
These entries are being reviewed by a jury of professionals chaired by Antoine de Caunes. The jury will select 14 finalists who will receive coaching and preparation for the grand finale. The finale will be held on June 6 on the legendary stage of the Olympia in front of Group employees, who will vote for the winner of the Vivendi Talent Show. The winner will then be able to count on all of the Group's resources to develop their talent in line with their goals.
