Designer Do Van Tri unveils 2026 Road to Mount Olympia laurel wreath

Designer Do Van Tri has revealed the handcrafted laurel wreath for the 26th anniversary final of the Road to Mount Olympia. The award features 24K gold plating in an Italian gold tone and utilizes a combination of 3D modeling technology and traditional jewelry craftsmanship.

Moving away from traditional symmetrical structures, this year's design follows a natural organic shape that mimics real branches and leaves. The piece incorporates olive leaves, a long-standing symbol of the competition, alongside imagery of dry branches to represent challenges. The designer intended the contrast between the dry branches and the new olive leaves to symbolize the journey of growth and the achievement of knowledge through perseverance.
