Get voting for your favourite Island Games medal

Sunday 29 September 2019

It's your last chance to vote for your favourite medal ahead of the 2021 NatWest International Island Games, which are going to be held in Guernsey.

The Island Games are an international multi-sports event, which are held every two years. They are being held in Guernsey in 2021 having previously been held here in 2003 and 1987.

As part of the run up to the 2021 Games, the Guernsey organising committee held a public competition to design the medals which will be presented to the competitors.

All of the entries were considered and cut down to a shortlist of five medal designs which were then put to a public vote, which closes tomorrow, 30 September.

More than 1500 votes for the favourite medal have already been cast and Games Director, Julia Bowditch encourages you to make yours before the public vote closes.

“We are really pleased with the response we have received so far, and would encourage anyone who hasn’t voted yet to make sure they do so over the next few days.” 

All of the shortlisted finalists will receive VIP tickets to the opening ceremony of the Games.

The winner will not only get the honor of having their own design picked but also will receive their own commemorative set of medals and will be given the opportunity to present the winners’ medals at one of the events during Games week.

The vote closes at midnight on 30 September.
