I emailed Tromp Percussion Festival - founded in 1970 by Dr. Theo Tromp - with photos of the tiles.

"What I suspect our American friend has in hand is one of the famed Tromp Delft blue tiles. The Tromp family always had the tradition of giving the jury members a uniquely designed tile for each edition (each edition with a new image). So, collector's items. If I remember correctly, we stopped this in 2010..."
