What is a songwriting camp?
Put simply, a place where artists and writers come together and write and produce music.
Eurovision specific songwriting camps have existed for a number of years now. The Eurovision 2024 winner, The Code by Nemo, originated in a songwriting camp in Switzerland. Sadly, there are seemingly no tents or s’mores involved.
