Power Meets Elegance: Bespoke Wooden Medals for "Cēsis Boxing Show 2026"

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 10:31:00 +0000

Boxing is a sport defined by iron discipline, character, and unflinching determination. On October 3rd, Cēsis Sports Complex will transform into the epicenter of Latvian combat sports during "Cēsis Boxing Show 2026", organized by Boksa klubs "Priekuļi". To honor the athletes and celebrate every grueling round in the ring, our team had the privilege of crafting custom-designed event medals.

Black Painted Wood: Awards with Real Character

Our objective was to create medals that break away from generic mass production and instead reflect the strength, prestige, and intensity of a championship fight night. We chose black painted wood as the base material, providing a bold, modern, and solid look.

To achieve a high-end finish, we combined two key manufacturing techniques:

High-Precision UV Printing: Vibrant, durable colors printed directly onto the wooden surface for sharp detail and depth.
Personalized Metal Plates: Added elegance that highlights the specific category and event status.

The striking contrast between the artwork, plates, and dark wood grain turns each medal into a memorable keepsake that fighters will proudly display.

High-Octane Action at Cēsis Boxing Show

"Cēsis Boxing Show 2026" promises a high-energy mix of sports and entertainment. Featuring electric light shows, thrilling undercards, MMA bouts, and top-tier fighters, the night culminates in the heavyweight Latvian title bout between 6-time national champion Evanders Servuts and 2026 champion Ilja Jurčenoks.

An event of this scale demands awards that match its ambition, and we are proud that Boksa klubs "Priekuļi" trusted us to produce these bespoke medals.

Custom wooden awards continue to grow in popularity across sports tournaments and corporate ceremonies. They offer:

Unmatched Customization: Endless combinations of shapes, custom paint finishes, UV printing, and engraved plates.
Tactile Quality & Sustainability: Natural wood delivers a solid weight and premium tactile experience.
Versatility Across Disciplines: Ideal for martial arts, running events, powerlifting, and team sports.

Elegance on Ice: Crafting Medals for the ISU Riga Cup 2026

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 08:59:00 +0000

Figure skating is a sport that demands unimaginable precision, strength, and artistic flair. We at MEDAĻASunKAUSI were truly honored to become a part of this beauty by manufacturing exclusive medals for the prestigious "ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating - Riga Cup 2026".

While athletes showcase their mastery on the ice and fans worldwide follow the live streams and official competition results, we want to share the story behind the ultimate goal of these competitions—the winners' medals.

A Design Reflecting Ice and Tradition The design of the medals was created with the elegance of figure skating and the international prestige of the event in mind.

Shape and Finish: The medals feature a classic, finely scalloped metallic edge that gives them a distinguished, premium look in gold, silver, and bronze finishes.
Ice Texture: On the reverse side of the medals (e.g., for the "Ice Dance" discipline), the background incorporates a unique frosted ice crystal texture, making the medal come alive as it catches the light.
Latvian Identity: As this ISU Grand Prix stage took place in Riga, the awards are suspended on high-quality ribbons in the deep red and white colors of the Latvian national flag.

If you are looking for the official ISU Riga Cup 2026 results, we invite you to visit the official International Skating Union (ISU) website. However, if you wish to create equally impressive and memorable awards for your own event, contact the MEDAĻASunKAUSI team—we manufacture awards worthy of true victory!

Valmiera Summer League 2026: Modern Custom Awards for the Champions

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:15:00 +0000

The "Valmiera Summer League 2026" (Valmieras vasaras līga 2026) is one of the most anticipated summer sports events, gathering passionate participants and fans alike. While teams battle for the top results and spectators follow the tournament brackets, the MEDAĻASunKAUSI team made sure that the champions receive truly unforgettable and modern awards.

For this dynamic event, we designed a unique set of trophies and medals, utilizing the latest processing technologies and premium materials to incorporate the distinctive "VVL26" identity.

Artificial Stone Medals

The tournament medals are crafted to combine elegance with durability. The base is made of solid artificial stone, giving the medal a pleasant weight and a premium feel. The design is enhanced with metallic-looking Rowmark plates in gold, silver, and bronze tones, finished with high-precision UV printing. This combination creates a striking and dimensional visual effect.

Exclusive Trophies for Top Performers

To honor the best teams and individual players (such as the best attacker or goalkeeper), we created highly expressive trophies. The base is made of wood, painted in a deep black, and features contrasting white UV printing. The upper part of the award consists of clear organic glass (acrylic), contour-cut and UV-printed to form a dynamic and contemporary "VVL26" composition.

If you are following the tournament progress and official results, we encourage you to check the "Valmiera Summer League 2026" official channels. But if you are organizing your own event and need innovative, custom-made awards, MEDAĻASunKAUSI is ready to bring your boldest ideas to life!

F.I.T.A.S.C. Sporting Viesakas Cup 2026: A Closer Look at the Winner Trophies

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 09:49:00 +0000

This weekend, the attention of the clay pigeon shooting community is fixed on the highly anticipated "F.I.T.A.S.C. Sporting Viesakas Cup 2026". While competitors battle for precision and spectators eagerly await the official tournament results, MEDAĻASunKAUSI offers an exclusive look at the ultimate prize – the winner's trophies.

As the manufacturers of these awards, our goal was to create trophies that reflect the elegance, accuracy, and focus required in the sporting discipline.

Modern Design with Character

This year's Viesakas Cup trophies stand out with a solid, minimalist, yet highly expressive design. The awards are built on sturdy black rectangular blocks, featuring full-face plates in gold, silver, and bronze finishes. These plates clearly distinguish the podium positions (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, e.g., in the "MAN" category).

The centerpiece of the design is a stylized flying target motif with concentric circles. Vertical lines run through the target, cleverly integrating Roman numerals (I, II, III) to denote the placements. This clean graphic approach makes the awards not just a symbol of victory, but a striking display piece for any athlete's trophy shelf.

If you are looking for the official results of the Viesakas Cup 2026, we encourage you to follow the event organizers' official channels. However, if you are hosting your own tournament and need equally unique, custom-manufactured awards, the MEDAĻASunKAUSI team is ready to deliver!

Crafting Awards for Speed: Latvian Autocross Championship 3rd Stage at SK Pilskalni

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 09:17:00 +0000

Motorsport demands endurance and precision from its athletes, and their achievements deserve to be recognized with equal quality. The MEDAĻASunKAUSI team was honored to manufacture the winner's trophies and medals for the 3rd stage of the Latvian Autocross Championship, which took place on July 11-12, 2026, at the "Pilskalni" Sports Complex.

For this dynamic event, we designed custom awards that perfectly capture the spirit of motorsport and feature the layout of the Pilskalni track itself.

Exclusive Winner Trophies

The base of the podium trophies is crafted from high-quality wood, elegantly painted in black. Engraved information plaques are mounted on the base, detailing the placement and competition class (e.g., "Open Class"). The upper section is made of clear acrylic, enhanced with racing flag motifs and the exact outline of the Pilskalni circuit. The design is richly decorated with gold, silver, and bronze material elements, clearly highlighting the achieved placement.

Artificial Stone Medals for the Team Classification

For the team classification winners, we produced massive, unique artificial stone medals. These medals feature high-resolution direct printing, while the special finishing touch comes from the gold, silver, and bronze Rowmark material decorations. To keep the front design completely clean and uninterrupted, the medal ribbons are neatly attached to the back.

If your upcoming sports competition or corporate event requires unique, custom-made awards that stand out, get in touch with us! We will turn your vision into reality.

Custom Design Awards: Crafting the Biķernieki Race Track 60th Anniversary Trophies

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 08:47:00 +0000

This year, the legendary Biķernieki race track celebrates its 60th anniversary. To honor this historic milestone, we had the great privilege of designing and manufacturing special anniversary awards, which will be presented to the best and fastest drivers across various auto and moto sports disciplines throughout the entire season.

This project is a perfect example of how custom-made awards can capture the unique story and atmosphere of an event, moving completely away from generic, standard trophy designs.

What Makes These Trophies So Unique?

Nowadays, original sports awards are no longer just standard metal cups. They are custom design pieces that combine different materials and modern technologies. For the Biķernieki trophies, we chose a thoughtful combination of elements:

Natural Wood Base: The solid wooden block adds weight, a premium feel, and a beautiful contrast to the modern materials.
Golden Mirror Acrylic with a Story: The central element is a golden silhouette shaped like a pine tree. Why a pine? Because the most iconic feature of the Biķernieki track is its location inside a beautiful forest.
Precise Track Layout: In the foreground, the dark red configuration line of the Biķernieki race track is precision-cut onto clear acrylic, alongside the official "BKSB 60" anniversary logo.

These acrylic awards combined with wood look outstanding both on the podium and later on the athletes' trophy shelves. The first trophies have already been awarded to well-known drivers, including Edgars Kroģeris (Drift Fan Favorite) and world-renowned rallycross star Johan Kristoffersson during the European Rallycross Championship round.

Bespoke Awards for Your Event

Every sports event, corporate gala, or company anniversary deserves its own visual identity. Standard trophies are easily forgotten, whereas personalized awards leave a lasting lifetime memory.

We provide a full production cycle – from the initial idea and digital sketch to the finished product. Whether you need modern wooden awards with laser engraving or complex multi-layered sports trophies, we will help bring your vision to life, no matter the complexity.

Where Wind Meets Design: Custom Trophies for the "Kuivižu Kauss 2026" Sailing Regatta

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:16:00 +0000

From June 10th to 14th, the coastal town of Salacgrīva is buzzing with energy as it hosts one of the most dynamic and highly anticipated sailing events of the season – "Kuivižu Kauss 2026". Throughout these days, both young talents in the Optimist Team Race class (where success relies entirely on clever team tactics) and experienced sailors in the high-performance 420 class are battling it out on the water.

Sailing is an incredibly demanding sport, both physically and tactically. Victory here is determined in split seconds—by a sailor's ability to read wind gusts, feel the waves, and make precise decisions under pressure. It is only fitting that such a fierce competitive spirit is honored with equally powerful, meticulously crafted awards.

A Long-Standing Partnership Built on Trust and Design

We are deeply proud and honored that the regatta organizers have chosen us as their trusted partner for trophy manufacturing year after year. This long-standing cooperation allows us to raise the bar with every event and create something truly unique for the laureates.

For this year’s design concept, we wanted to visually capture the sleek elegance of wind and water interacting:

Material Contrast: The base is crafted from a dark, elegant material with a rich texture, giving the award a solid, premium weight.
Dynamic Details: Each custom trophy and medal features finely crafted gold, silver, and bronze sail elements.
The Wave Motif: A clear, transparent acrylic section with engraved wave lines symbolizes the power of the sea and the fluid motion of a boat cutting through water.

Right now, all the podium trophies and commemorative medals are ready, delivered to Salacgrīva, and waiting for their new owners at the final closing ceremony.

We would like to express our gratitude to the organizers of "Kuivižu Kauss" for their trust and excellent cooperation over all these years. As for the teams and sailors – we wish you good winds and strength in the final races!

Custom Wooden Awards with Character: project for the Latvian Optimist Class Association

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 08:20:00 +0000

When standard off-the-shelf trophies just don't match the level of your event, it’s time to take a different direction. For the young sailors of the Latvian Optimist Class Association, we created something completely unique – custom wooden awards that combine natural texture with modern execution.

Our goal was to deliver a bespoke trophy design that doesn't just look great on the podium, but remains a meaningful, high-quality keepsake for years to come.

The Power of Contrast: Wooden and Acrylic Trophies

The main concept behind this project was to play with opposites – like night and day. Using the exact same base made of natural wood with a prominent grain, we developed two entirely different editions:

The Light Edition: Clean, bright, and minimalist, where the white background makes the details pop.
The Dark Edition: Bold, high-contrast, with a distinct premium feel.

To give the awards a well-deserved celebratory shine, the text elements and prominent numbers were cut from mirrored acrylic (gold, silver, and bronze). They catch the light beautifully and stand out against the matte background. Naturally, each piece features precise laser engraving with the championship's official motto "Burāt un augt!" (Sail and Grow!) and the winners' details.

Bespoke Trophies for Sports and Corporate Events

This project perfectly demonstrates that wooden trophies for sports events can be modern, stylish, and break away from clichés. This is not mass production – this is custom trophy manufacturing where every single detail is tailored to the identity of the sport or organization.

At Medaļas un Kausi, we believe the best results happen when clients trust the creative process and let the materials speak for themselves.

Wood and Gold Craftsmanship: An Example of Our High-Quality Corporate Awards.

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 08:25:00 +0000

Medalas un Kausi is proud to present one of our recent projects – a unique corporate award crafted from high-quality wood and gold materials. This accolade, created to celebrate exceptional achievements, serves as a prime example of our approach to every order.

Behind every award lies craftsmanship and care. We believe that corporate awards should be more than just an object – they should be a testament to your company's gratitude and prestige.

This particular award combines two powerful elements: the rich texture of wood and the elegant accent of gold. The wood shape is not only functional but also artistic, providing stability and sophistication. The gold inlay adds a touch of luxury and recognition, making this a high-quality award that the recipient will cherish.

The text and company logo are precisely and tastefully engraved on a transparent acrylic panel. Every element – from the choice of wood to the final engraving – is executed with great attention to detail. We specialize in producing unique awards that reflect your company's identity.

Our wood awards and other exclusive awards are an excellent way to thank your best employees, partners, or clients. We offer a wide range of designs and materials, allowing us to customize each award to your specific needs.
