How it works

Enter the number of participants, competition categories and podium places to calculate exactly how many medals, trophies and prizes you need. The calculator also estimates the prize budget based on the quality level you choose and generates an order list for your suppliers.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate medals for a sports event?

Multiply the number of categories by the podium places (gold, silver, bronze). For team events, multiply by the number of team members. Add a 10% reserve for extra medals or special awards.

How much do medals and trophies cost for a sports event?

As an indication, basic zinc or aluminium medals cost around €2-5 each, brass or silver ones €8-20. Trophies range from €10 (resin) to over €100 (crystal or metal). For an amateur tournament with 100 participants, a prize budget of €300-600 is a reasonable reference.

Where can you order custom trophies and medals for sports events?

Specialized trophy suppliers and local engravers produce custom awards with your logo and engraving. Order at least 3-4 weeks ahead for customized items and 2 weeks ahead for standard catalog items.
