Orkney 2025 is delighted to announce the winner of the Medal Design Competition for the 20th International Island Games. The organisation partnered with Creative Orkney to deliver the competition.
Judges met last week to deliberate the entries and were delighted with the quality of entries received. Kirsteen Stewart of Creative Orkney said “It has been a great opportunity for the Creative Orkney membership to push the boundaries of their creativity and be involved in this once in a lifetime opportunity. The judging panel really enjoyed how innovative the designs were and that they touched on the history, nature and identity here on Orkney”.
The winning design has been created by Jodie Brown. Speaking about the design, Head Judge Sheila Fleet said “The winning entry is very well deserved. Jodie has created a very iconic design with so much that symbolises Orkney. The hollow circle stands for Orkney and the presence of the iconic standing stones. As a medal it has great impact. It shows the real hallmark of an up and coming designer.”
As well as the honour of seeing her design used for all of the medals during the Games, Jodie will also receive her own commemorative set of medals and will be given the opportunity to present the winners’ medals at one of the events during the week.
Orkney 2025 International Island Games is honoured to have Sheila Fleet Jewellery sponsoring the medal production for the winning design. The medals will be produced through Sheila Fleet Jewellery . In total, more than 1400 medals will be presented during the Games week. For team events, all members of the winning teams will each receive a medal.
All Creative Orkney member employees were permitted to enter the competition. All entrants were judged on an anonymous basis.
