Your Face, Our Canvas: Win a Portrait at The Festival Series!
Winning a poker tournament—whether online or live—is an unforgettable experience. For many players, it’s a rare achievement, making the prize money and the trophy all the more meaningful. At The Festival Series, we wanted to offer something truly unique to describe this moment.
That’s why we introduced a one-of-a-kind trophy: not the typical plastic or metal award which will be dusting away already a week later or will end up in the bin, but a custom portrait of the winner themselves. It’s a personal, lasting memento that celebrates not just the victory, but the player behind it. Will you be the one scooping one of these trophies in Rozvadov?
During our live events, we proudly display these unique portraits in a special area of the casino where many players by. This way, everyone can see and appreciate the one-of-a-kind trophies. Each portrait is created by our talented Ukrainian artist, Modernoise, adding even more meaning and character to the award. It’s our way of celebrating the winners and sharing their moments with the whole poker community. Isn't it a great feeling? To be able to hang your trophy on the wall in your bedroom or in the living room? Your partner, friends, and family, will be absolutely delighted!
How does it Work?
The very first this that needs to happen is that there needs to be a winner of course! Once the tournament is ended, a winner's picture will be taken by either one of our staff or a casino employee. Once this picture has been taken, it will be forwarded to the magician with the pencil, Modernoise. Take in mind, the Festival Series counts 60+ unique events, where the standard is 50+ tournaments. So there are a lot of winner pictures being forwarded to the artist during every single event.
Once that is done, the artist starts his mission to create a super cool portrait according to the winner's picture. Once this is done, there are several checks done to be sure that the details are correct such as the tournament name, the player's name, and the logos. This is often just a formality as most of the time it just takes a couple minutes. However, then the fun starts!
Once a drawing has been made, it will be printed and put in an elegant photo frame. All-in-all, quite a mission to make sure the portraits will be ready as soon as possible after the event.
