Reih Bleeaney VanannanThe Reih Bleeaney Vanannan (Manx: [raɪ bliːənə vənænən], RYE BLEE-en-er va-NAN-nan, lit. 'Manannan's Choice of the Year') is the Isle of Man's most prestigious annual award for culture. It is presented by Culture Vannin to the person or group who has made the most outstanding contribution to Manx culture. It is typically presented by the President of Culture Vannin in January. Recipients of the Reih Bleeaney Vanannan are entitled to use the letters RBV after their name. They hold the trophy for one year, as well as receiving a medal and a donation to be split between themselves and a Manx cultural cause of their choice. The RBV was first awarded in 1987 as part of Culture Vannin's overarching policy "to support and promote Manx culture," as established at its creation in 1982 under its original name, the Manx Heritage Foundation. The panel of assessors for the award is appointed by Culture Vannin and represents the key Manx cultural organisations. The panel consists of representatives from Yn Çheshaght Ghailckagh, Yn Chruinnaght, the Isle of Man Arts Council, Culture Vannin and Manx National Heritage. Nominations are invited from the public in November of each year. The RBV trophy consists of the figure of the sea-god Manannan standing on a piece of Pooilvaaish marble, resting on a plinth. It also contains traces of quartz from the South Barrule, one of Manannan's fortresses, and a brooch of Laxey silver in the form of the Three Legs of Man presented by Mona Douglas. It was designed by the late Eric Austwick. The medal presented to each recipient is designed by Jennie Kissack and executed in silver and enamel by Tony Lewis of Peel.

Culture VanninCulture Vannin is the trading name for the Manx Heritage Foundation, established in 1982 by the Isle of Man Government to promote Manx culture, heritage and language. It was rebranded in February 2014, having previously been known as the "Manx Heritage Foundation" (Manx: Undinys Eiraght Vannin), since the former title "held connotations more towards the cultural history of the island" which were not felt to be accurate to the organisation's progressive approach to invigorating Manx culture. Culture Vannin's motto is "Taking our culture forward".
