« Capturing magical moments, year after year , across Switzerland!»
PH – Eeveegraphy / COS – By_Juka
Picvetia was launched in 2023 with the idea of realizing an event that brings together cosplayers, photographers and videographers. Cosplay enthusiasts meet on two consecutive days to take photos or shoot videos. The event takes place in three parts across Switzerland: in the German, French and Italian speaking parts. Our aim is to publicise this event to the entire Swiss community, but also to cross borders to attract people and select the most outstanding among them.
Picvetia is not only a photographic gathering, but also is an opportunity to meet people, do networking and have fun while being creative at the same time. For each edition we look for beautiful locations to match the cosplays.
Yearly
An annual event, a unique experience.
Exciting locations
