Design the Isle of Man’s King’s Baton for 2026 Games

Team Isle of Man is calling on local artists, designers, and craftspeople to submit designs for the Isle of Man’s baton.

The baton will feature at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and during next year’s King’s Baton Relay visit to the island.

Submissions must be made by Friday, February 20.

Manx Baton

The theme for the baton design is Manx culture and heritage, but how this is represented is entirely up to the creativity of the designer.

A local panel of judges will select the winning design, and the chosen artist will be invited to apply their design directly onto the baton.

This is a unique opportunity for local talent to showcase Manx culture on an international stage.

Anyone interested in creating the design and finding out further details should contact Victoria Prentice at kingsbatonrelay@gmail.com
