When imagination brings children face to face with their sporting heroes

For the third time in a row, the Triglav Group launches a creative competition to design the Planica 7 trophy

The third edition of the Create a Planica 7 Trophy competition proves that meeting a sports star and role model is not an impossible dream. Through this initiative, the Triglav Group encourages children and young people to engage in creative and active pastimes. It also gives them the chance to cheer on the world's best ski jumpers alongside their classmates – or even meet their sporting idols and present them with the Planica 7 winner’s trophy.


“The Planica 7 trophy competition was a really great experience because the prize is so special – something that can only happen once in a lifetime,” said Tjaša, a primary school student and winner of last year's contest. The young artist had the honour of presenting the trophy made based on her drawing to Daniel Huber of Austria, the Planica 7 champion, and even got to meet the Slovenian Eagles, Slovenia’s own ski jumping team.

Children and young people have the chance to compete for this unforgettable experience once again by participating in the Create a Planica 7 Trophy competition. “I'm very proud to be part of this creative competition again this year,” says Cene Prevc, the competition ambassador, encouraging kindergarten and primary school children to bring their ideas for the trophy design to life. “Children, together with your parents, submit your drawings by 9 February at www.planica.triglav.si.”

A winning drawing for a unique experience

After the call for entries closes, from 10 to 21 February, the competition website (https://planica.triglav.si/) will be open for public voting on the submitted entries. During this period, an expert jury will also select the winning design, which will be transformed into the official trophy for this year's overall winner of the best seven jumps at the World Cup Finals in Planica.

The 10 entries with the highest number of public votes will earn their entire class a trip to the qualifying round in Planica. Meanwhile, the creator of the winning design, chosen by the jury, will have the honour of presenting the trophy to the Planica 7 champion on the final day of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup Finals.

Encouraging a creative and active lifestyle

“With the Create a Planica 7 Trophy competition, we aim, together with Slovenian ski jumpers, to inspire children to embrace sport, movement, and creativity. In an era of increasing screen time and the growing use of smartphones and electronic devices among children and adolescents, we support parents and educators in fostering the healthy cognitive and motor development of the youngest generation,” said Tjaša Kolenc Filipčič, Director of Marketing at Zavarovalnica Triglav.

The largest Slovenian insurance and finance group is eagerly anticipating fresh ideas from young creatives. “Last year, the competition attracted more than 450 drawings for the Planica 7 trophy. This impressive response confirms that our call to create is warmly welcomed by children and their caregivers. The entries we received showcased the boundless imagination of young minds. That’s why I’m excited to see this year’s trophy designs from talented young creators across the country,” added Tjaša Kolenc Filipčič.

Part of the traditional Children of Triglav at Planica campaign

Although this is only the third consecutive year of the Create a Planica 7 Trophy competition, the Triglav Group’s connection with Planica goes back much further. A loyal supporter of the Slovenian sporting festival since 1968, Triglav has been helping the dreams of young fans come true through its Children of Triglav at Planica campaign for nearly half a century. This initiative has given children from diverse local and social backgrounds the chance to watch the qualifying rounds in person, and to date bringing nearly 113,000 children and their accompanying adults to the valley below Ponce. This year, thousands more will once again have the opportunity to experience the unforgettable magic of Planica.
