2026 Rainbow Logo Challenge

The Gay + Lesbian Rowing Federation is proud to announce the 2026 Rainbow logo Challenge.  June is recognized worldwide as Pride month, when the gay community celebrates their diversity, promotes inclusion, and allows individuals a moment to affirm and express pride in who they are. 

We challenge the broader rowing community to show its support for the gay rowing community by incorporating rainbow colors in their website and social media logos.  Social media has such a huge role in rower’s everyday lives. To see a rainbow-infused logo sends a strong message of support and demonstrates a rowing club’s, rowing programme’s, and rowing organization’s commitment to inclusion.

The challenge runs for the entire month of June but for those countries that celebrate Pride at a different time of year, they can still participate by selecting the month in the Rainbow Logo Challenge form.  In recognition of the global rowing community, we encourage entries to feature the local language spelling of the pride month. Every entry must feature at least one website or social media site with a rainbow logo.  To showcase the presence of the rainbow logos, we kindly ask you to only add those sites that feature the rainbow-infused logo.

Anyone can submit an entry for the challenge by completing the form.  We encourage everyone to use their rainbow logos in as many of your social media sites as you can. 

All entries will be featured on the Rainbow Logo Challenge page.  Although the Challenge extends only during a country’s Pride month, the displayed entries serve as a year-long testament to the gay rowing community that they are welcome and accepted.

We welcome everyone to nominate a club, programme, or organization by adding their image and social media sites, if you spot one that isn't displayed in the Challenge.
