The Meteoriks Nominees 2025 (Friday)
The Meteoriks are an award show that honours the best demoscene productions of the previous year in different categories, such as Outstanding Technical Achievement, Best Soundtrack, Best Direction, New Talent, and more.
And we are excited to host the Nomination Gala live at MountainBytes again, before the Laureates will then be presented at Revision Demoparty on Easter!
After presenting the nominees, we will indulge in an extra-long demoshow, showing you all nominated productions!

OHP - Overhead-Projektor Compo (Saturday)
Another old tradition from Buenzli/Demodays is celebrating its return - the Overhead-Projector Compo is back! That’s right; you remember them from your classrooms from back-in-the-day, where you worked on project presentations together with your classmates, or dreaded the foils being uncovered by your teacher during exams. Now it’s time to show in a live-performance, what those machines are capable of!
- Max duration: 6 minutes
- You're allowed to do whatever you want, except using OHP-LCD screens (or similar techniques)
- Take care with liquid - after your entry was shown, the OHP must be dry and ready for the next performer.
- There will be material available at the party place for you to prepare and create an entry on site (mostly scissors, glue, some leftover overhead transparencies, pens and of course the projectors).
- We’ll play your music choice along with your performance. Bring your soundtrack with you as an MP3 or OGG file. As we will publish a video capture of your performance, your sound track must be free of third party rights.
Still no idea what this is about? Have a look and get inspired by some of our favourite OHP releases at previous parties - and then participate! It's fun, we promise!
Live Event: tbd - it's going to be awesome, though!
Prizegiving
After our Live Act on Saturday night, we watch and celebrate the productions from the demolab workshop, and share the voting results from the compos with you!
Demo-Zmorge: Müesli, Gipfeli and Demos (Sunday)
No event can pride itself of its Swissness without some decent display of hospitality!
Join us for an extended breakfast on Sunday, where we not just serve you with some original Swiss Gipfeli, Müesli, Schoggi and more, but also watch a few relaxing and uplifting demos.
Please let us know before the event if you have any food allergies or limitations in what you can eat, we are happy to accommodate you.
Before we let you go back home, the sweetest treat of them all awaits you: A showcase of the results from our DemoLab Workshop!
Let's celebrate everyone who took part and produced (in many cases their first) demo. We watch and cheer for their releases together and of course, as honour demands, award them with the same prizes our compo winners received the night before.
Entry on Sunday is free for all!
We open our doors free of charge to our neighbours, to get an idea about our work and what the demoscene is about. Everyone interested is welcome to grab a gipfeli, watch some demos with us and ask questions!
