The committees at Usva organize events, create posters, and take photos at the events.
They meet weekly to discuss what they have going on, how they are going to proceed in the
coming weeks, and to have a good time together.

BAND
The Usva Band opens the monthly Usva Jam Session and often plays at other events. Last
year, they performed at O-Swap, Winterwelvaart, Groningen on Stage, and more. The band
rehearses every week and consists of a singer, two guitarists, a bassist, a pianist, and a
drummer.

FLICKS
Flicks organizes the Flicks Film Festival in March 2026. Flicks is an international short film
festival especially for students and young filmmakers. The event consists of two evenings
filled with short films of all kinds of genres. The Flicks committee watches all the
submissions and makes a selection to show at the festival.

LIVE SUPPORT
Live Support is a talent development track for upcoming artists. The committee holds
auditions for independent young artists. They then choose and guide a small group of those
artists throughout the year. They organize workshops and two showcases to coach the
artists in developing their stage act.

O-SWAP
The O-Swap committee organizes two clothing swap events throughout the year. The main
focus of these events is on clothing, but recent editions have included books, jewelry, and
other items as well. The committee also incorporates new ideas into the events.

QUIZ
The Quiz committee is responsible for organizing the Usva Pub Quizzes and Quiz Nights.
The Pub Quizzes are held in the café and feature general questions. The Usva Quiz Nights
take place in the theatre and have a specific theme.

PR
The PR committee focuses on the external promotion of Usva’s events. This includes
making designs for our iconic posters. Aside from this they also contribute on social media,
and take pictures during events.

USVA AWARDS
The Usva Awards committee organizes an award show for cultural student performances.
Throughout the year, the committee visits many dance, theatre, and musical performances.
These shows are awarded prizes such as “Best Performer” or “Best Night Out,” as decided
by the committee. The award show will be held in September 2026.
