.. About JOHN LENNON TALENT AWARD

The JOHN LENNON TALENT AWARD was created for ITZEHOER VERSICHERUNGEN by KLAUS VOORMANN, close friend of the Beatles, who still is Germany's most famous studio musician of all times. He played bass guitar on many recordings by Randy Newman, Lou Reed, B.B. King, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and .... John Lennon, just to mention a few of his clients. Voormann got Yoko Ono's OK to call the new talent contest the JOHN LENNON TALENT AWARD. Part of the agreement was the non commercial character of the contest.

In 1991, the insurance company started its new project locally in northern Germany, as the company is sited in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, in a small town called Itzehoe. The JOHN LENNON TALENT AWARD became a big success from the start and after a couple of years, it became a nationwide event with a lot of public interest.

What makes the JLTA so unique and so much different from similar efforts, is the fact, that the winners don't just get prices like money or expensive instruments, but a long time individual coaching by experienced and commercially successful professionals to make them fit for „Real life“. On top of that, the JLTA organizes a German tour of first class venues, to give the winners the opportunity to prove their talent and professionalism after having been trained by the JLTA.

Those, who'll be contracted by record companies, still get advice and (legal) assistance from the JLTA team as well as payed gigs and support. The JOHN LENNON TALENT AWARD by now is one of the most important German talent contests, if not THE most important one.
