The Young Drummers Competition Is Now Open

Calling All Young Creatives – A New and Exciting Challenge Is on the Way!

Your next big creative breakthrough starts now. The Young Drummers Competition 2026 is officially open, created in collaboration with one of the festival’s most awarded brands, Mastercard Slovenia.

The stage is set for ambitious young talents from around the world – visionary creatives under 30 with bold ideas, standout skills, and the drive to impress the industry. 

This year’s competition brief, “World. One Tap Away.”, invites Young Drummers to design a poster or a series of posters, accompanied by a short-written explanation of their idea. The goal is to creatively showcase Mastercard’s smooth, seamless experience of paying across borders – where the world really is just one tap away.

Show us what you can do, compete for a €1,000 prize, and join the Golden Drum experience.

The brief is live – dive in and start creating!
