Young Drummers Competition 2022

HEY YOU, BECOME THE FUTURE OF TOURISM! ENTER WORK

Slovenian Tourist Board and Golden Drum invite you to participate in the Young Drummers Competition for the best and most creative poster or video, this year on the topic of:

Hey you, become the future of tourism! 

Competition opening: 22 March 2022
Deadline for submissions extended: 5 August 2022

Entry format: poster or video

Entry fee: EUR 25 (VAT not included)

We all love to travel, right? To the most secluded parts of the world, all with the aim of experiencing unforgettable adventures, sleeping in unique accommodations, discovering stunning nature and lively places, exploring traditional tastes ... when traveling, we rely on the hospitality, dedication and professionalism of tourism workers, who are involved in creating unforgettable experiences and lifelong memories. From tour operators, whose advice always comes in handy, ever-smiling hotel receptionists, tour guides who reveal the secrets of destinations, wellness experts, hotel housekeepers, who take care of our well-being and comfort, chefs and servers who create tasty gastronomic experiences. Each of them contributes to your exceptional experience of the destination. The so-called 5* experience.

However, the interest in these professions has been in decline in recent years – not only in Slovenia, but also on a global scale. Which is why the aim of this year's creative competition is to raise awareness about the importance and added value of professions in tourism, the choice for active participation and career development in tourism by sharing the stories of individuals.

A Slovenian saying goes that "tourism are people". Employees in Slovenian tourism work heartily and proudly and are aware that they are the best ambassadors of the country in the eyes of travelers. They help co-create the story of sustainable tourism that is friendly to the local environment and nature. However, in tourism, as in other industries, we are facing a shortage of staff. The shortage is already evident in the small enrollment in specialized secondary schools and then in university programs. Therefore, the aim of this year's competition is to encourage young creatives to provide creative solutions that would encourage young people for a career in tourism. The aim is to find creative solutions that would show that working in tourism is interesting and offers countless opportunities for growth, international exchanges and life experiences. We also want to highlight that a career in tourism offers you an opportunity to help co-create the future of tourism.

Brief

Create a poster/poster series or a short video/video series for the SLOVENIAN TOURISM BOARD on the topic:
 

“HEY YOU, BECOME THE FUTURE OF TOURISM!” 

 
The creative solution should increase the visibility of professions in tourism and encourage young population to choose a career in tourism. Poster/poster series or short video/ video series should inspire and motivate the user.
 
Creative solutions should be suitable for social media channels used by the target group, as well as for traditional forms of communication.
 
TARGET GROUPS
 
Creative solutions address young people who are in the process of deciding on their future education (primary and secondary school students). The aim is to persuade them to enroll in a high school or higher education program that educates for and promotes professions in tourism, be it in the catering industry, the hospitality industry or tourism more broadly.
 
COMMUNICATION GOALS
 
To present professions in tourism (catering and / or hotel industry) in an interesting, original and above all creative way, and to convince for enrollment in high schools or university programs that educate for work in tourism.
 
COMMUNICATION AREA/MARKET
 
Communication activities will be carried out on the domestic, Slovenian market. They will also be shown globally as an example of good practice.
 
IMPORTANT
You can use the video materials available in the Media Library on the website of the Slovenian Tourist Board, your own video footage, photographs, and animations. The Media Library contains video materials that are available free of charge for the competition. A login is required to use the Media Library.

How to apply & Technical requirements

*Golden Drum, international festival of creativity, has suspended Russia and Belarus from submitting entries into this year’s competition and from having representatives in the juries, with immediate effect.
Although we are a politically neutral body promoting the interests of the advertising and communication industry, we feel a firm stance is essential in these extraordinary circumstances. The decision, taken by the Board of the Slovenian Advertising Chamber and Golden Drum leadership, was based on Russia's unjustifiable and illegal invasion of Ukraine, grave violation of international law, and the support of Belarus in those acts.
