Jugend Innovativ is Austria's largest student competition. For the 2023 edition, six new 3D trophies were developed – each representing its own category: Science, Technology, Design, Entrepreneurship, IT & Digital, and Sustainability.
The award ceremony was to be energised with fresh, modern trophies that spark enthusiasm, inspire the audience and visibly celebrate the achievements of young talents.
How can each category be represented visually on its own terms without losing the overall coherence of the competition? And how do you unite digital 3D graphics with the physical form of a trophy?
An individual 3D design was developed for each category, visually translating its thematic world. Clean shapes, modern aesthetics and a shared design framework ensure recognition and cohesion. The designs unite digital precision with tangible presence – as visual sculptures that both excite and inspire.
