In martial arts, technique, respect, and perseverance are values that underpin both physical practice and life. That is why each award received is more than a souvenir; it is an expression of everything that these arts teach athletes, both as sportspeople and as human beings. It is in this sense that at Tributus we develop awards that reflect the essence and values of different sports, such as karate, judo, and taekwondo.

Sustainability in martial arts awards

The trophies and medals developed by Tributus are in line with our commitment to sustainability. Our range of sustainable materials includes wood and cork, recycled acrylic and plastic, and eco-friendly lanyards . In addition, all items are shipped in eco-friendly packaging and protected in honeycomb paper.

Creativity in action: each tournament has its own identity

Since our inception, we have been known for "thinking outside the box" and developing models that go beyond the conventional. And because each event has its own identity, creativity must be part of the creation of the awards. Thus, in each medal and each trophy, we incorporate unique details that lend originality. Here are some examples:
• the medals of the Internal Judo Tournament;
• the trophies of the Judo Challenge;
• the medals and trophies for KTF Team Sports Association.

Personalization: how details tell stories
Since no two events are alike and each has its own identity, the awards created for each one must be personalized, that is, they must contain elements that make them unique and distinctive, reflecting the values of the sport and symbolizing respect and recognition for the athletes' effort, perseverance, and dedication. At Tributus, we have produced trophies and medals with exclusive and personalized designs, such as the ones we are sharing now:
• the trophies for the Taekwondo Open Bifana de Vendas Novas 2024;
• the medals made of beech wood for the AKAM Children's and Youth Karate Tournament 2022

Solutions tailored to all ages and classifications

Given the client's need to award prizes according to rankings, ages, or professional categories (among other variables) and to control costs, Tributus found two effective ways to develop medals, trophies, and other types of awards tailored to each event:
a) the same model with variations in size and color to distinguish rankings and/or categories;
b) the same model in versions adapted for children, maintaining the same design as for adults, but reinforcing inclusion and a sense of belonging.
Take a look at the examples we have selected:
• the trophies for the 2023 Kempo Portuguese Cup: the classification is in the details of the color and the figure;
• the medals for the Portimão Carlos Santana Karate Open: the color of the medals indicates the classification (gold, silver, and bronze);
• the medals for the São Tomé and Príncipe Global Judo Tournament;
• the medals and trophies for the Phenomenon International Karate Open, adapted for younger age groups;
• the trophies for the RS Judo School, made of wood and in different sizes, for adult and child athletes;
• the medals for the Lagoa City Judo Tournament in the Azores;
• the medals for the Toshi Cup 2023.

Tributus has developed awards for numerous martial arts events, always with total respect for the identity of each one and with solutions tailored to the needs presented by clients.
