Young Drummers Are Bringing the Energy

The next generation of creatives has stepped up! This year’s Young Drummers Competition, organised in partnership with Mastercard Slovenia, invited creatives under 30 to respond to the brief “World. One Tap Away.” With submissions now closed, it’s time to see where their ideas will take them.

Tina Kramar, Competition Director, shares:

“It’s incredibly encouraging to see the next generation of creative talent respond to this year’s challenge with such energy and ambition. We received 12% more entries than last year, with young creatives from 15 countries bringing their ideas, perspectives and creative voices to the competition. We’re also delighted to welcome Georgia to this year’s participating countries, further enriching the diversity of talent represented at Golden Drum.

With submissions now closed, the focus shifts to our jury, who will have the challenging task of identifying the ideas that demonstrate the strongest creative thinking, originality and potential. The shortlist will be announced on 29 September, marking the next important moment in this year’s competition.

We’re looking forward to seeing which ideas rise to the occasion and earn their place in the spotlight at Golden Drum. And, perhaps, this is just the beginning: the young creatives competing today may well be the names returning to Golden Drum in the years ahead to collect a Drum of their own.”

The winner will be revealed on 13 October at the Golden Drum Awards Show.
