Do you take beautiful or unusual photos?
We are happy to celebrate a milestone this year! Our 10th edition! Would you like to see your photograph published in the SPECIAL 10th edition of Know-it-all passport® 2017/2018 due out end-of-August this year? Click here to see the winners in the last edition.
Here is the mock-up (maquette) of the new SILVER cover for our 10th edition; see Lisa reflected in the cover!
The table of contents for this 10th edition is below and we need one photo per section (8 in all). The photo will be used as a category separator like in the example photos above. (See below for rules and prizes.)
Check out the Free Classifieds section on knowitall.ch. It has now been improved so that you can:
*** Search for keywords in classifieds to help you find what you’re looking for at the click of a single button. (Have you noticed how difficult it is to search for previous classifieds on some websites?)
*** Search on location, categories and top featured classifieds in your region.
*** Post images to make your classifieds stand out from the rest.
*** Push your classified to the top of the list by paying a small monthly fee of Fr. 1.- per day for as many days as you want, so you are not limited by weekly or monthly contracts.
*** Renew your classifieds quickly and easily without waiting for moderators to approve them again.
*** View quality classifieds, posted by real people selling local products and services. (To avoid spam, we moderate new classifieds, and those which have been edited.)
Christmas is a time for relaxing with family and friends, and catching up on some of that light reading you don’t normally have time for.
With this in mind, we thought it would be nice to use the next two weeks to highlight some of the most popular blog entries that have featured on the site throughout 2014, in case you missed them the first time round.
Today’s special blog is: The best places to buy fabric locally

The following photos show the Winners and Runners-up for the AMATEUR PHOTO COMPETITION FOR KNOW-IT-ALL PASSPORT® 2015/2016.
With around 400 entries, there was a fantastic choice so we would also like to show some that almost made it into the book! The first section shows the Winners, and the second shows the Runners-up photos and how they would have looked if they had been printed in the book.
Click on each of the photos to see an enlarged view.
Each of the winners and runners-up will be invited to see the next edition of Know-it-all passport ® 2015/2016 going to print - more details to follow!
