The International Schools Sports Federation (ISF) and Chinese manufacturer MC ART AWARDS have created the 2025 U15 World Summer Games medals. As the core symbol of the global youth sports event, this batch of medals is driven by technology and the concept of sustainable development, deeply integrating sportsmanship and artistic aesthetics, giving young athletes from all over the world a unique memory of glory.
Medal design:
dynamic connection and future vision
The medal is based on the core concept of “leap and symbiosis”, inspired by the eternal inheritance of the vitality and competitive spirit of young athletes. The surface presents an abstract movement trajectory through nano-level laser engraving technology, paying tribute to the dynamic nature of track and field, swimming and other events.
Process innovation:
digital technology and environmental commitment
MC ART AWARDS uses the composite process of “AI generative modeling + 3D metal printing”. Each medal undergoes 16 precision processes and takes more than 120 hours to complete. The medal body is made of 100% recyclable zinc alloy, and the carbon footprint of the entire production process is traceable through blockchain technology, which strictly meets the ISF’s carbon neutrality goal.
Design highlights:
Integration of function and emotion
Dynamic light and shadow interaction: The medal presents a color gradient under different light angles, symbolizing the multi-dimensional performance of athletes on the field.
Modular structure:
The medal can be detached into commemorative badges and pendants, which is convenient for young athletes to carry with them and pass on friendship.
Barrier-free design:
The 3D embossed texture on the medal surface is optimized for visually impaired athletes, and the event logo and ranking information can be identified by touch
Ceremony significance:
Youth sports and global connection
The 2025 U15 World Summer Games will be held in Zlatibor, Serbia, covering 25 sports, including 3 Paralympic events, and is expected to attract thousands of young athletes from around the world. Evan, product manager of MC ART AWARDS, said: “This cooperation is not only a technical challenge, but also a tribute to the spirit of youth sports. We convey a core concept through the medals – every effort deserves to be given a physical and eternal commemoration.”
ISF event director commented:
MC ART AWARDS design goes beyond the symbolic meaning of traditional medals. Its technical integration and environmental protection practices set a new benchmark for international school sports events, perfectly echoing the values of “friendship, excellence, and inclusiveness of the Games.
