2025 Island Games Medal Design

Lodged by Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Jodie Brown, of Kirkwall, whose design has been officially selected for the medals to be used in the 2025 International Island Games, due to be hosted for the first time in Orkney; understands that the medal design selection was decided through an Orkney-wide competition, with Jodie’s entry singled out by the judges for its "strong and bold" design; notes that the medal design depicts three of Orkney’s iconic Standing Stones, among the oldest anywhere in the British Isles; understands that the medals will be produced by Sheila Fleet Jewellery, and thanks the business for its support of the games, and Creative Orkney for helping to organise the competition; considers that the Island Games are set to be the largest sporting event in Scotland and one of the largest anywhere in Europe in 2025; believes that Jodie’s impactful design is a fitting match for such a major event, and agrees with the reported comments of head judge, Sheila Fleet, that it shows the "hallmark of an up and coming designer".
